Dear Christine
I hope you made your return trip back
without mishap and that you are getting along
just fine. We enjoyed having all of you at home
so much and I have missed you ineffably.
I have been sick again. was in bed the first
of the week and Thurs. I went and had 3 of 
my teeth pulled so of course that put me
back again but today I felt better and 
went to S. school. not many there but Stuart H 
was a visitor and took the floor. He 
postively knew more than anybody. 
Mary Knox is home and doing fine. Her 
mind snapped back suddenly and she has 
been improving ever since. She came home 
Tues. I wont to go to see her this week
If I were you I'd write her a letter.
I'm sure she'd appreciate it. Her Dad is here
but I haven't seen him.
I got a letter from Martha Thurs. She 
didn't have to wait in Eupora and got 
to M.S.C.W. at 8:30.She will finish up her 


teaching next Wed, and is very happy to be so 
nearly thro.
Some of you left two pr. of pants here. I've no
iden who they belong to.
Last night when I was listening to Prof. Iniz
I heard him announce that Minnie Claire Boyd of
Columbus had won $5.00 this week for the 
best set of 5 questions.
Victor came over here last night and stayed
till almost 11. After he left Dad and I 
stayed up till almost 12. We heard some
good music as Barn yard music goes.
Daddy is feeling fine and will go back
to work agan in the morning. He will
go to Tunica first. Mr. Dyer wrote him a 
nice letter telling him to stay in till
he got well and that his salary would
continue.
while I was out the other night day a 
boy came by who was taking subscriptions
to magazines to keep pay his expenses
at Ole Miss where he is studying
medicine. What magazine do you 
suppose your father paid $250 for a 
yrs. subscription? - "True Story"

Last night about 12 o clock two boys from 
Walnut drove thru here in a brand new V8
and almost tore the post office down by 
running into it. They knocked in the 
north west corner and knocked the 
window out. Dad says it will cost $20000
to fix it. 
Mr. Shed Byars is the happy father of a 
bouncing baby boy. Weight 8 lbs. Francis
M. Lee attended the mother during the 
ordeal. Daddy says he thinks a good
name for the boy would be 
"Victor Randolph"
I got a letter from Aunt Allie. She isn't
well and she was begging me to write her
along letter, which I must do soon. She said 
their Xmas was sad with Elinor so far
away and sick.
Gilbert told Chess Murphree that when Joe
and Boscom got back to California, that 


Joe went all to pieces and went absolutely
Crazy. We don't know whether to believe it 
as Gilbert was drunk when he was telling it. 
How is V.S. ? I suppose the letter I forwarded to 
you was from him.
Have you had any adjustment made on your
coat? Somehow, I feel like you will go soft
and let them beat you out of it. You
could get you some kind of a cute sport
coat for what they should pay you.
Chester went to Jackson today to try to find a 
job. I fear the trip will be useless. Leon
is trying to get work with the highway 
dept.
Mr Lane is mad at the Bill Young's because 
they wouldn't lend him some money. He says
they ought to be run out of town. He has
forgotten how he ran all over town trying
to get Ethel back in the school.
I got a new McCalls. It has some pretty
styles. Goldsmith has all kinds of silks on 
sale in prints for next week I thought
of you and wished you had some kind 
of a pretty print for spring and I 
could make it cheaply.
I must write ABay a thank you -
write me 
Lovingly
Mother
