Sunday night

ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER
Dear Chris,
I am going to have to change my time
of writing to you for I am always being
stopped. Last night I meant to write and 
Victor and Chester come and stayed till 
10:30 - Tonight, I had my paper ready to 
begin writing and lay and Victor come 
they have just left and its bed time so
I'm really writing you a note and sending 
your papers back.
You have asked our advice about
going to business school - as you say
its all a gamble anyway and if you
think that is what you want to do
I want you to do it. and so does
Daddy. I had thought and heard that
Miss Wylie's school was much ahead
of Draughon's but I'm sure it is
more expensive. They have promised

Write me more about it - How ong
will you be in school etc. I 
hope Goldie decides to go if you do
and I hope the man was sincere about 
getting you work to pay your board but
I hope it is light work. You'd have 
two months to rest up from school and
to get ready in and would have
no expense during that time-
Whatever you do don't let the folks
there know that you're planning
this and don't resign if you're
re-elected for Bernice might be able
to get the place if you waited
that is if she doesnt get some-
thing better-
Aunt Allie came today she's fine 
and mighty happy to be here
I'll have to go to bed now and


write you the news later on in the
week.
Rest assured that whatever you decide 
to do it will be alright with
both Daddy and me and if it
is what you want that is what
we want.
Write me and I'll write you
a letter in a day or so.
Lots of love
Mother
