Dear editor:

My name is Acasia Jenae Haynes. I am in seventh grade and attending Covenant Christian School. We are reading a book called “A walk Across America” by Peter Jenkins. I am writing to you because I need your help. I am doing a report on Alabama. I need to know why your readers love their state. I am curious to know where readers might go on a hot summer’s day with their free time. How does Alabama represent you?

I hope your readers will consider sending me letters or postcards telling me what they love about their state of Alabama.
Letters can be sent to: Acasia Haynes, 1102 West 7th Street, Mishawaka, Ind., 46544.

Thank you. All responses will be appreciated.

–Acasia J. Haynes
