Columbus, Miss.


I was just as happy as you were over the
prospects of your going to Miss. State and have
never said otherwise. I know it means a lot
to mix and meet people outside your own
little sphere. I realize that form my own
experience for I've nver had the privilage
myself that many have. That was the
reason I gladly consented to your going to
summer school. I wanted you to meet new
people and I felt that it would be a great 
help to you. Now please get this idea that
 I'm objecting to a trip anytime you get a
chance, out of your system and too 
try not to be so sensitive I've been
tyring to passify sensitive people for 23
years.
I've been sick with a headache but
have managed to keep busy. Monday a 
few of us borrowed Roy Beckett's car
and went to all the Methodist's and 
got the preachers family a nice
pounding. They seemed to appreciate of 
course if I hadn't  worked it up
it wouldn't have bee done. Then I 
decided we'd buy some new furniture.


for the parsonage. So I began talking that
(this isnt conceit but just facts)
up and we drove to Bruce and asked the
ladies there to help us so they agreed. We
came back and got Roy Beckett to order us
about a $6000 order wholesale price. We ordered
a 4 pc. bedroom suit princess dresser & stool
dresser and chifforobe two preety rockers and a 
longoleum rug. This will be here in a day or
two and we're going to be so proud of it and
I'm sure it will be quite a surprise for Bro
and Mrs. Clark. There are six in his family - His
two nieces went to school at Leland last 
year and year before. They stayed with an Aunt-
they said they knew Charlyne real well.
This afternoon Say and I got Morgan's car
and made a tour for Heus to make our
first payment on the furniture. We made a
pretty good haul-
Tomorrow I must iron and clean house
that has been neglected all the week.
We have asked Dwight and Elizabeth to
have Thanksgiving dinner with us. I had
never had them and felt that I
should so decided that would be a
good time.


Clelia and Chester have gone to Jackson. She
is getting to be being quite a city lady
as she goes with Chester every time he goes.
Daddy has been gone almost 3 weeks and
he's crazy to come home. He plans to
be here Thanksgiving I don't guess he'll get
to stay but a day or so.
I made Mrs. Anna Walker a dress this
morning. I'm sure she will look beautiful
when she dons it.
The little football team went to Big Creek 
to play today Sonny Boy went but didn't play this
time.
Gilbert has been drunk for two solid weeks 
Poor old Mary looks worse every day. G. C.
is wanting to come home. I guess he thinks
Clarksdale school isn't all play.
Mary has made Kathryn a black satin
evening dress.
Kathleen is going to Blue Mt. this week end to
see the Junior-Fresh wedding. Ruby Nell is
one of the groomsmen.
Well, I must quit and write to Daddy I
get a letter from him every tow or three days
Chris, I think it would be awfully nice
for you to get Chick's car. It's sweet of him
to offer it to you - I'll not write Sunday
unless I change my mind.
Worlds of love-
Mother
