Sunday night

Dear Orville,

We decided to come by Macon – as you see. We thougth we would be sure of a good hotel and that the road had been scraped a little way out of Atlanta – The road to Atlanta was almost as bad as it was Thursday it took us until 3:30 to get there. And I drove all the way here (6:30). If you thought I nagged you Thursday you should have heard Papa on me and I drove as carefully as I did the other night.

We have two nice rooms with adjoining baths and twin bed. (10.00 and ate in hotel. I am afraid we’ll have to sell a cow or two at this rate). I have just finished talking with Jessie Mae & Myrtle. They have been having a time in the cold too.

If you have had any fears about my making the trip without McGehee’s advice you can rest easy. Myrtle said ti was the best thing in the world for me. I sure wish you could be with us – that is all it would take to make it complete.

Hope it will soon be warm there and that you will be well.

Lots of love

Evelyn
