Jackson Saturday night
Dear Molly—
You're a mighty sweet girl. I appreciate
the money so very much but you shouldn't 
have done it. You spend too much on me. I 
sent the $10 to the bank and will give
the other to Bro McKee. I'll use mine to 
go on me some dress shoes of some kind-
I had saved $500 of my sewing money so I'll
have plenty to get me some real nice shoes.
Daddy enjoyed seeing you. I would have gone
along too but I knew it was such a hurried
trip I wouldn't have time for anything so I 
declined. I was so gad to get the new parts 
to my machine. It sews like a new one now 
I oiled and cleaned it up good today. It had
been doing terrible work.
I haven't done so much this week. I made 
Baby Sister a little white blouse which is 
right cute. They are all ready for Easter
tomorrow. I hope it doen't rain. Ora B is


having an egg hunt for the little kids. Mary
has dyed 3 doz eggs. the prettiest I've ever seen
I wish you could be at home tomorrow. Leon
gave us a nice chicken and I have it dressed 
I also have chocolate custard made for cream
We might not do that well next Sunday but 
maybe you can get by till you get back to 
Memphis.
If you have time try to see about getting 
Sonny Boy a harmonica before you come here.
He has written to me to send him some 
candy and a french harp. Somebody said 
you might get a harp at a music store 
or maybe at some other dept. store. I have 
written to Victor to get me some chewing gum
and bar candy at the Px when I get it 
all together I want to get it mailed as 
soon as possible. It takes so long to
get there. We got a letter yesterday
and two today. The one I got this afternoon
was written last Saturday—exactly one 
week coming— He sent it air mail. He 
said Bus Johnson didn't have a thing 
in him now as he had been promoted 
to P.F.C.

Pittsboro is coming to the front. Jess Crawford
has a new porch on his house. Mrs. C is
happy again. Wallace wired her after he 
got back to Calif. that he had taken her 
advice and wasn't getting married now.
Mrs. C. said her prayers had been 
answered. She might to pray harder 
that this war would end.
I still have Mary's navy blue dress to make 
I'll be glad when its finished. I kinda 
dread making it. I must get all my 
own sewing done for the time is 
passing fast. Have you figured any way 
to get off a little sooner than the 15th? 
You get a schedule via Tupelo, Birmingham
etc. with pullman. Find out if that wouldn't 
be better than going by Jackson. See what 
a pullman ticket will cost. If not too
much we'll get a pullman It would 
be so much easier. In the meantime, 


I'll get the prices schedules etc from
Grenada via Jackson and will can decide
while you're home just how is best to go
I'll get Leon to get the information
at Grenada next week. When we would 
leave and when we would get there etc
We'll decide which is the best route 
and make reservations immediately.
Well, I'll see you Saturday. Let us 
know when you'll reach Grenada.
And be sure to get the above mentioned 
information relative to have schedule
and post fare via Tupelo—
Lots of love and thanks again
Happy Easter
Mother.
