Sunday afternoon
Dear Chris + Martha
This is a mighty pretty day, tho
rather cool we've had a fire all day.
No preaching today and I enjoyed the
rest. We went to S.school. Just as
I was getting dressed Annie B. drove
up to see me for a little while
she came to Stanley's Friday night, I 
carried her to S. school with me and 
then we drove over to the cemetery
for a few minutes. She wouldn't
stay for dinner as she was leaving
soon after 12. I enjoyed seeing her
even tho for a short while.
Bernice + the Reid girls didn't get
to take their trip to Shiloah on acct.
of the boys having to work. Bernice
said she didn't care as she wasn't
so crazy to go anyway.
Daddy had to come back from
Meridian and is being sent to
Corinth. He will leave in the


morning. If he stays up there thru
Mon. I'm going with him for one
week.
Christine, I'm anxious to know what
your work is. if its to wait on tables
don't accept it. I was surprised to hear
you had got a job after Dr. O. wrote
Allen as he did. I'm glad you can
get that much off as it will give
you more money to spend in other
ways that you wouldn't have otherwise
Martha, I ordered you a coat from
Goldsmith's but when it came it was
big enough for Bernice and I knew it
be too large. I ordered a size 12
but I couldn't find size on it
It cost $17.00 if you can find
anything down there you like mabye
you'd better get it. or I might get 
a chance to get you another somewhere.
You could look at them the next 
time you go to town.
I got me a cheap black dress 
at Bruce yesterday. I'm not so
taken up with it but I'm going


to get me another if I go to conferences.
Christine, have you read "Gone with the Wind"?
Bernice is getting it this month. Annie
B. said it was wonderful. We got
three new magazines yesterday. Pictorial 
is much improved it has a 
book length novel and a novellete each
month now.
Bernice got her 1st month's pay Friday
She only got $55\00 She thought she'd get $60\00
She's lying abed reading the new magazines.
The jury gave Mr. Lee Penitentiary for life
Everybody was so shocked I think it was
the most unjust verdict that has ever
been rendered by any jury I heard
all the evidence. Prejudice was the
cause of it all. You have never
seen such mob you couldn't get
standing room in the court house
and the biggest part of the crowd
was anxious to see him hung.
They will appeal the case and his 
lawyers think it will be reversed
in supreme court.
Yes I got the Spectator but


I would rather know what you write
Christine, I think its awfully nice that 
you are going to get your photo in
The State magazine Do you love me?
(I mean a picture)
Ivy Ellord got her new teeth today
I'm anxious to see her. I bet she looks
funny. Dad is looking more like
himself since he has had in for some 
time.
We'll have to have lunch at the church
next Sunday for the last quarterly
conference. We're just going to have
sandwiches stuffed, eggs, pickle + pie
with coffee.
Annie B. brought a nice brown pair of 
Rice Oneal shoes that were too small
for her I'll send them in a few
days and the on that they fit
best can have them. She's never
worn them but very little
Ed + Jette May Lowe have a new baby
boy who has come to board in their
home. Mother + Babe doing nicely-


Martha are you about to work
yourself to death? I feel like you 
are because you haven't written 
lately. Don't take everything so seriously
and you'll have a better time. Don't 
try to put in two hours your
job everytime. Does your shoulder
still hurt you? I hope not.
Annie B. said Bobby was writing
home awfully blue letters and that
 she wrote she had failed on a 
test and didn't know but what
she'd fail them all. I guess she's
just homesick. and somebody had
stolen five dollars from her too.
Martha, I see your point in
getting town girls for you
little sisters. I hope it works
out like you're expecting it too.
Chris I hope you get to chaperone
lots of girls to shows- or I 
should have said girls to shows
lots of times-


I enjoyed your letter very much and it
was written especially neat however,
your Pop couldn't make out every
word. He thinks your writing is 
hard to read but I don't 
I must quit and write to Aunt
Allie and KC-
Hope everything is lovely with
you. I'll write again before 
long-
Lovingly
Mother
