"IF CALLED UPON TO MAKE MY OWN LIVING WHAT WOULD I DO AND WHERE WOULD I GO?" ****** Dear Uncle Sam, - In about two years I will have to leave school, and try to make my own living. I would like to go to be a jockey. I would first have to go to Newmarket to the stables to get trained. - I remain, your affectionate nephew, James HARKER, Keekle Cottage. ****** Dear Uncle Sam, - After I have left the school I will have to make my own living. I would like to go and serve  my time to be a blacksmith. When I am out of my time I would like to go to Africa to work at my trade, for I believe there are good chances for a good workman. Your affectionate nephew, John CASSON Brook Bank, Hensingham. ****** Dear Uncle Sam, - I would like best to be a lithographer or art painter, and after serving my apprenticeship I would like to go to London, Manchester, or some large town, where I could improve myself. I think I could do well, as it is the kind of work I always thought most of, but I am afraid I will have to give it up for something else, as there are so few chances for it in Whitehaven. - I remain your affectionate nephew, Robert DENT 76, Duke-street, Whitehaven. ****** Creditable letters have also been received from the following comrades: - Jane STRAITON Mary E.
