A PEN PAL FOR A '
FORMER VALLEY GIRL
Miss Marjorie Myren, public -
health nurse who is leaving the
Valley next week hopes that
someone will adopt as a pen pal
a 12-year old girl whose home
was broken up by tragedy this
year. The girl and her eight-year
old brother now make their home
at Wrangell Institute along with
about 500 other children. The fol- "
lowing letter to Miss Myren is an
appealing one, and it is hoped
that someone will be moved to
write to Marjorie Rousseau:
’ “How are you and everybody?
I hope fine. My father is in Stella
coom, Washington. I am lonesome
some time. I want to go home.
Did you see my grandmother yet?
My brother Charlie said hello to
you and so did I. I am so lone
some since my mother died. I
want some candy. And I am lone
some for my father. Will you
please answer soon? That is all
for now.”
