I'm writing this slow 'cause I know that you can't read fast. We don't live where
|
||
|
|
we did when you left. Your Dad read in the paper that most accidents happened
|
||
|
|
within twenty miles of home, so we moved. I wont be able to send you the address
|
||
|
|
as the last family that lived here took the numbers with them for their next
|
||
|
|
house, so they wouldn't have to change their address.
|

This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in, I pulled
|
||
|
|
the handle and haven't seen them since. It only rained twice this week, three
|
||
|
|
days the first time, and four days the second time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The coat you wanted me to send to you, your Aunt Sue said it would be a little
|
||
|
|
too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put
|
||
|
|
them into the pockets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We got a bill from the funeral home, said if we didn't make the last payment on
|
||
|
|
Grandma's funeral bill, up she comes.

About your Father...he has a lovely new job. He has over 500 men under him. He is
|
||
|
|
cutting grass at the cemetery.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
About your Sister...she had a baby this morning. I haven't found out if it is a
|
||
|
|
boy or a girl; so I don't know if you are an aunt or an uncle.

Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to pull him out, but he
|
||
|
|
fought them off playfully, so he drowned. We cremated him, he burned three days.

Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup. One was driving. The other
|
||
|
|
two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to
|
||
|
|
safety. The other two drowned. They couldn't get the tail gate down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not much more news this time, nothing much has really happened.
