At Home

Monday Morning

Dear Orville –

We left about 10 min after you did yesterday morning. The trip did not seem so long. One girl and I were the only ones to Nashville. We talked quite a bit. I enjoyed her. She is from Oklahoma city and a Junior at O.U. At Nashville the car became quite crowded.

Mama & Papa had been looking forward to you coming. I thought they would get my card Friday but it was Sat aft before it came so they already had plans made for you. For instance Pape & Mr. Adams included you in their fishing trip – they had waited until you would be here – They left about 3:30 this a.m. for Pickwick Dam – Also Papa had planned for you to do some work on his starter at the gin. They have already ginned 28 bales. I told them you were waiting to see how Brooklyn came out - & planned to go to the Series if they won. Papa volunteered that they were in the lead so you see you have him keeping up with it. I notice this a.m they are now 3 games ahead. Mama said she didn’t blame you for going & that if she were me she would hide my head & if she couldn’t live on “nothing” whil you were gone as I had been so much expense lately. Anyway we all hope you can make the trip – so save your money so you can.

Rebecca & Uncle Ewin & Janice came down last night. Uncle Ewin is going to try to go to work on the Paris project – if not then he is going to remodel Thoburn’s hosue. He bought it Saturday for he said he didn’t think it wise to build & got a bargain in it – also intends to add to it & rent an apartment.

Please remember all instructions and that I love you-

Evelyn

Instruction Sheet

Be sure to deposit all of the check that you do not need at once. You can keep about $5 to tide you over for your meals. I have already mailed (today) the following checks in order that they will reach there before the books close –

Standard Oil 6.60

Sinclair 1.84

Davison 6.93

Richs 5.00

I am sending checks to you for Moore’s (made out for 11.00 I think it is 10.98 or about – By the way I already have about 14 nickels and 17 pennies for you) because you wanted them to be sure to get it by 21^st.

If something happens you decide for me to stay on I will mail the rest of the checks to you & you can mail from there. I want to pay Mark a lot this time for I have missed him entirely the last two pay days – so be sure to deposit it – Also Dr. McGehee & several little bills must come – (Have your shoes from Sears come yet?)

Note: The check to Moore’s Pharmacy was never sent. It remains attached to the “Instruction Sheet”
