Tuesday night

ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER
Dear Chris, 
I intended writing you last night
but didn't feel equal to it. Since
passing a kidney stone as large as a 
pea I'm feeling lots better I think
I will get along much better surely-
Everybody has been so good to come to 
see me I've had several in every
day since I got sick. Miss Leila has 
been several times and brought me my 
dinner yesterday. Bessie brought me some
today so I believe I'll stay sick. I've
really had a tough time. Daddy came
back last night because he was uneasy 
about him me, but left out again 
this morning to be gone till Sat. 
Bro. & Mrs. Jones were in town today
and came to see me. I surely was
glad to see them. They looked so nice.
Their baby boy is the prettiest child I


ever saw. He has long brown curls and looks
exactly like a little girl. 
Martha moves into the practice house next 
week. She's having exams now. I think
she's in a big way about moving-
Martha said that they shipped the Mosely
girl from Vardaman who is a fresh man
Her mother is Mary's first cousin. She 
stole a girls check book from her purse
got her name from the stubs and
forged her signature to 11 checks. one
was for $4500 but they caught her
before she got it cashed I was telling
Mrs. Clark about it and she said that
she went off to Memphis last spring
and got rid of a kid. She said she
was bad every way.
Sonny Boy is expecting the pig daily that
D. Creekmore promised him. He has made
a very nice trough this afternoon. S.B.
made real good grades on everything this 
last month and on his exams. I'm 
real proud of him.
Ola Wooten has been appointed Sec.
of S. school so I'll be relieved of that
job.
Bessie has been to see Elena & Shed's

baby she said it was a fine boy.
I had two more teeth pulled last
week which makes a total of 5. I only
have four jaw teeth left so I have to 
do all my chewing on my front teeth
which is very dissgreeable.
I hope you can find you a coat
you like. I wouldn't buy something I 
didn't like tho you you'll always be 
disgusted with it. I do hope the man
paid you as he promised
Mary Goar has the flu. She sent me
the $500 she owed me Sat.
Dr. Creekmore has put Effie to bed 
for 30 days- my opinion is that she 
won't ever get up- however Cliff said
she was feeling better.
I noticed Ethel Young was wearing
a new ring I'm not an expert
on stones so I don't know that is


a diamond but that's what it looks like. 
Bill bought Bob's part the land so
that was how he paid off all his 
debts while he was home. I guess he'll 
be like Wade and wont have a cent
left in 30 days.
Daddy is looking and feeling much
better than he has in a long
time. I sure am glad for I was 
beginning to feel anxious about him-
I guess I'll get a letter from you 
tomorrow.
Hope your play goes off fine
and that you won't have too
much work to do.
I must write Martha and Bernice
too so bye and be good 
Lovingly
Mother
