Dear Mother,
I wrote you a postal this morning and then I missed the mail
man so I didn’t get to send it. I’m going to stay with Grandma this week as
Aunt Nell is gne to Clarksville to see about Church matters. Aunt Add and I
have had lots of sewing to do we have got the box pretty near ready to send. but
we didn’t know where to send it or whether to send it by express or freight. I
guess it will take such a hug time to go by freight don’t it? So I want you to
answer right away and tell us what to do. Lucia is back here now they have been
having a terrible time up there Uncle Charlie turned John Frane off, there was
so much talk about John & Mandi we wouldn’t be surprised any day to hear of
Uncle Charlie & Frantis Gregory getting married & Mandi hate her son
she was down here this afternoon and she & I had a big romp she & I got
along splendid now. It took us quite awhile to get acquainted. Aunt Rose wanted
Uncle Charlie to have me go there and stay all nite with her but he hasn’t
decided. Agnes is teaching School I harldy ever see her any more Uncle Jule
told me the other day that he guessed Lizie was mad at them because I never
came down there & that’s the way they all talk. I got a letter from George
and you this evening yes I got your bundles you sent me all right. Thank you
what in the dickens does Fred want to keep Mike for? Tell Rafe that I weigh 140
lbs now and see what she willsayy to that I’m afraid you wouldent know me now that’s
what I weighed yesterday. Yes I owe Grandma a letter & must answer it sum
what a dear little woman she is anyway. Grandma is pearing apples & Uncle
Will is reading and its raining. Wish you would step in Grandma got a letter
from Father this evening well I will close for this time hoping to hear from
you soon I remain your daughter Lizzie.
Notes on the letter – Why don’t Fred & Louise ever write
any more to me? Tell George I will write soon good night.
