Dear Uncle John: 



We have had three meetings since w^e organized. We hold our 

 meetings in the school house on Friday afternoons. At our second 

 meeting we held a general discussion on " Birds." The result was the 

 building of about 15 bird houses by members of the club. 



A discussion of some of the articles in the September number of 

 Junior Naturalist Monthly was held at the third meeting. We also 

 had some observation work with a salamander that had been cap- 

 tured. 



We have seen three blue jays robbing a robin's nest of three eggs. 

 One of the bluejays kept the robin off while the other two robbed 

 the nest, but she has laid one egg in the nest again. 



From your nephews and nieces, 



The Lone Hill J. N. C.
