Dear Punky,

Margaret is waiting in the car for me so will rush you a few lines –

The enclosed note is all the news I have had from Mama. I have just this minute rec’d it. So you know just as much as I do about it. When I first read it I thought she meant “the news” we wrote made them sick – But the fact Carolyn was also sick makes me know otherwise. After I thought about it I remembered the reason they didn’t write Sunday was that it was “Homecoming Day” up there. Perhaps they ate something there which upset them.

We went to Atlanta to dinner & a show last night.

The tires are very much appreciated but you shouldn’t have done it now –

Must be on the way to Canton so will just say

I love you

Evelyn.

Enclosed:

Tuesday –

Dear Evelyn.

This is just to say we are all sick. I don’t aim to write before the last of week or it may be next week.

Adrian is going to Mo. this afternoon on fishing trip if he can get to feeling a little better.

I began to cover my glider yesterday I am going to try to finish it and my ironing if I can and that will be all. It makes me sick to think of anything. If we get any worse will write or get some one. Carolyn was sick at her stomach all night. We are both so weak can’t hardly be up. but guess we will be better in a few days. So you need not worry. Hope you are well and feeling more rested.

Love –

Mother.
