Sunday Night
Dearest Girls,
I'm not going to write you a 
long letter tonight as you're going to 
be home in a few days.
We went to church today. There was a 
big crowd there and we had an
awfully good Easter sermon.
Bernice went to Oxford yesterday
afternoon and took the exam.
Daddy and I went with her. She 
said it wasn't so hard. It lasted
from 2 oclock till 5:30. Dad and I 
rode around and sat in the car
and watched the poor white trash and 
negros parade by It was much
worse than Bruce Saturday's.
Do you come home Friday or Sat and 
how do you plan to come?
Martha, I didn't order your corduroy
because I didn't know just how 
much to get and you can get
a linen suit or anything else
you might want. I looked in the 


stores at Oxford but I've never seen
such a bum place to trade. They 
simply had nothing-
Aunt Allie is still here, we went 
riding this afternoon She had a good time. 
Victor came over here last night and 
we sat up till nearly midnight
Chester, Dwight and wives came Friday
night.
Tomorrow is circuit court. I'll
have the jockey's for company. There are 
really having school till 12:30 so I 
guess Bernice will spent her 
afternoon at court-
I saw a notice of Mary Evans
Hutch's wedding in today's paper. She 
surely is ugly.
I got a card from Annie Boy
telling me of Mary Frances' baby 
that came the 20th It's a boy, and 
they are all tickled to death.
Sonny Boy spent the day with 
the Gran's today. He said Gilbert


was stewed. He's getting in good
condition for court as usual. 
We've been hearing that Charlie
Mitchell and Corinne Bryant was
going to get married. He has had flu
all last week and Elizabeth has 
been teaching for him. They have
re elected all the teachers. Bernice 
isn't going to keep her place if 
she can do any better.
Christine, I wrote Jay to see if she 
knew Jimmie May's name and address.
Jennie Hamilton is going to get
married to a Mr. J.R. Taylor. Cliffie's
first husbands Daddy. He has a 
business in Memphis and she is 
coming there to get married. She wrote
Aunt Ollie all about it.
Martha, Bro Clark is very anxious
to read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and I 
want you or Christine to get 
some girl who is staying over for 
 the holidays to check it out and
bring it home with you. He can't


find it anywhere around here. 
Martha H. has had the flu.
Bernice, Charline Mary & Elizabeth went 
to Leolio' fashion show Wed. night
She said the girls who modeled, were
very awkward
I am about to go to bed even 
 tho it is only 8:30. Hope these 
few lines find you well in 
health if not in mind
I'll be seein you 
Lots of love
Mom
