Dear Son,
I'm writing this slow 'cause I know
you can't read fast. We don't live
where we did when you left. Your
dad read in the paper where the
most accidents happened within
twenty miles of home,...so we
moved.
I won't be able to send you the
address as the last Arkansas family
that lived here took the numbers
with them for their next house so
they wouldn't have to change their
address, wish I would have thought
of that.
This place has a washing machine.
The first day I put four shirts in it,
pulled the chain, and haven't seen
'em 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
you, Aunt Sue said it would be a
little too heavy to send in the mail
with those heavy buttons, so we cut
them off and put them in 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 sister, she had a baby
this morning. I haven't found out
whether it is a boy or a girl so I
don't know if you are an aunt or
uncle, yet.
Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey
vat. Some of the men tried to pull
him out, but he fought them off and
drowned. We cremated him, and he
burned for about 3 days.
Three of your friends when 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 tailgate down in
time.
Not much more news this time,
nothing much happened.
Love, Mom.
P.S. I WAS GOING TO SEND
YOU MONEY, but the envelope
was already sealed.
