[Written by Aunt Nellie Cowles.]
Cut this out and put in her book as her first written word.
Sibyl’s First Written Word
This is Sibyl’s absolutely unaided effort to write kisses and her name. I [Aunt Nellie] have never even shown her to print.
[During her life, Sibyl was a prolific author. Her published works included two books of poetry, a novel and an operetta. She also had numerous articles, essays and poetry published in newspapers, magazines and anthologies. In addition to her published works, she left a multitude of unpublished works in the form of poetry, short stories, essays and letters.]
