As ever your loving sister, Etoile V. Engledow Jan 25, 1892 Troupe, Texas Forget me not ___________________________________________________ from Little Jewel Engledow to her sister Kate. When you are far away remember me. Your little sister Jewel ___________________________________________________ Dear Kate - Life is in great measure what we make it; but he who exerts his whole energies for success in the temporal things misses the real aim of life. Let you standard be high - a life of real worth, of priority, of goodness. Happiness here and in the future existence should be the real aim; but most of us strive in the wrong direction to attain. We work for direct results when we should seek it indirectly - that is, we should leave self entirely out of the question and devote our whole time to the comfort and happiness of others. That you may attain this high standard is the sincere wish and prayer of your friend and teacher. J. W. Fitzgerald Troupe, Texas Feb. 15th, 1892 ___________________________________________________ To Miss Katie - from Carrye White Omen, Texas _______________________________________________________ Dear Kate, I've looked these pages ore and ore to see what others have wrote. And in this little lonely spot I've here inscribed, Forget me not. Your friend Monica Munn __________________________________________________________ Dear Kate With many a tune and tender tear. With many a plea of pity dear Some have tried to turn the tide Which others strive in vain to hide. Your Friend Millie ___________________________________________________________ If every kind wish was a rose And that without a thorn. Thy path through life dear Kate With flowers I would adorn. M. E. Hays Jan 3rd 1892 ____________________________________________________________ Dear Katie May you grow into A noble woman and be loved by all is the fond wishes of your Friend Lillian Pope ___________________________________________________________ Dear Katie, A place for my name in your album, A place for my love in your heart, A place for us both in heaven Where true friends never part.
