Sunday Night
Dearest daughters
How's tricks? We got our books o.k.
and like them fine. Claria didnt say much
about the flower but said she would wear it
you know she never brags on anything any
body else does. Oh yes, I believe she did
brag on the way you set her hair, Martha-
they came over and spent the afternoon and 
we talked about the sermon, which was good
and about Shed and wife who were also at
church. After services Martha H broke the
ice and rushed up and smilingly said
something to them also Strat and several 
of the men stopped in the porch and 
congratulated them among them was your
father who shook hands with the bride
and wished the happy couple good luck etc. 
Jewell held her head high and walked 
out and got in the ancient chevrolet
with the air of a queen (she didn't 
speak to them) The Bride has given her 
little baby to her mother so Shed wont
have to act as step father. He appears
to be one of the happiest young men


I have ever seen. Pittsboro certainly hasn't
lacked for something to talk about for the 
past week. All the girls and Mrs Bryan
are awfully mad about it. Shed has 
carried her down to see his mother 
twice already. I can't find out how 
the reception went off. 
Bernice and I made some divinity 
candy which we meant to send you
all some but it is so soft we're com-
pelled to eat it with spoon. We put 
hickory nut meats in it. I'm sorry we 
can't send you any. 
How are the exams? I've thought of you 
and how hard you're studying. I 
feel like you will make it fine. 
Bernice & I went with the Ellard's to 
C. City yesterday. B. had her hair washed 
and set and we sat in the car and
just watched the crowd go by. It was
 a lot of fun. We have formed a habit
of going every Sat. so we get to see
lots of our friends each time.
Bernice is still planning her trip to


Memphis Sat. She is going to get Elizabeth
to teach for her and she will go on the 
train to Tupelo this afternoon and they 
will spend the night with Nancies Aunt
there They will leave on the bus early
Sat morning and get in there by 9 oclock
see the opera that p.m. and back to 
Tupelo that night on home Sunday p.m.
Bernice hopes to have time to get her a 
suit etc. 
 I heard Truman got drunk during Xmas
He is getting wicked since he has become
a college man. I knew when I saw that
look on his face at church that he
had gotten bad. Mr. Yancy has bought 
an half interest in Allen Strain's 10 ct 
store and Mrs. Yancy works over there
now.
J. W. Williams gave Ava B. a bath robe
for a xmas presents and the bill was
sin the pocket. They didn't say what
it cost.
Minnine Lee is Recreation Leader for this
community and she puts on her
programs at the WMU meetings so
we don't get to enjoy the recreation programs.


Les and Lois have moved back home at
last and I hope everything goes all right
with them from now on. They are in the 
house with Johnnie Calder, I hope they dont 
fight, I mean Estelle and Lois.
I am in a hurry as Daddy has gone to 
George's and I'm determined that he shan't
go out there without me hearing what
they are talking about.
Ive went to Bessie's but didn't 
hear any news. We listened to Chase 
and Sanborn's hour and then came
back. It's bed time now were 
turning in. Excuse bad letter
no news - Hope you finish
up your tests without trouble
and dont try to write till
you get this.
Love
Mother
Martha, I saw Polly 
Wilbanks picture in the paper today
