So it’s a wee bit of a leap over to the 🦋 place, where I’ve got 70 followers rather than 33,000, but some of the nicest people are already there and I hope more friends give it a try. See you there for the Sunday caption contest, my name there is also @GirlsOwn

"Anxious reader" cannot better occupy her time than by knitting for the Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen.

@stega1958 It did amuse me! Rather love that some Victorian young lady was trying to jazz up church gatherings

The rhymes are imperfect in the verse you send, but they have some poetical feeling. We are sure you had pleasure in writing them, so by all means continue, but please do not send them to us for publication.

@JoEdkins Publishes some, to me, painfully bad poetry but not from correspondents. They are sending in faint hope of publication but mainly hoping to be an exception to the criticism I think. And as she often comments, young people love writing morbid poetry.

@kayemcelle Yes, she’d definitely consider it kind and encouraging
