Wednesday afternoon
Dear Mollie, 
Mother is mad at me for not writing to you sooner. 
I hope you are more indulgent than she is. If I wrote 
as ofter and as soon as I intend to, you would receive
letters from me more frequently. 
The sweater is very pretty. I like the color and
think it is most becoming. I can wear it with the skirt 
to my blue suit, and I am going to get me some other
skirt to wear with it. Thanks so much for it. 
Court Started Monday. but they haven't tried a
case yet. Several have pled guilty, but that is all.
I am going up to see what they are doing this afternoon
Daddy will stay here all week, I guess. They have not
even started picking the jury for Mr. Lee's case.
I guess Mother wrote you that Criss left to take
up her job yesterday. She was sent to Starkville. Bob
went with her and caught a ride back I was real glad
she finally got something to do.
The PTA sells lunches every day during court up at 
Mr. Sam Cooner's store. They are trying to make enough
money to get some kind of sanatary water supply for the
kids. The teachers seem to be really nice people. Maybe
they will have a good school.
I guess mother told you about Ligon H. leaving home,
he is over at Mack Flanagan's working. Mack's Wife is
going to have triplets. That will make him seven children
in three years. Bob Young was figuring out the average
per year when I saw him up town this morning.
Bob says that the reason they are so long putting
up the mail here every morning is that they candle it 
just like they do eggs. Not to see if it is fresh but 
to see if there is any scandle or news.

Mother got me a pair of stockings for my birthday.
I am glad you sent the sweater instead of the book that 
you said you hunted for. After all I would look like
hell going around wearing a book, don't you think?
Well, I have to go to town to see what they are
doing. Lots of love.
Bernice
