Tuesday Evening
Dearest Carolyn,
“All-alone – I’m so all
alone” so I’ll talk to you awhile. As
you know Dad went to Indianapolis on 15 yesterday. He called last night about 9:30 to see how we
were and more I think to warn us not to drive to Indianapolis thru Batesville –
as they are working on road tother side of B. and it is rough going, I take
it. Would like to go – but –more bother
and worry than its worth – sooo - The
League kids got Mildred a water set and have all gone up there this
evening. B[eth] went with Willard + Kay
+ bunch of smaller kids. Willard told me
he intends to go to school at Hanover next semester.
Am glad the dress was liked
and that you enjoyed open house – at least part of the time. I did not get the yarn – thot I made that
clear in other letter. That seemed too
much to pay for sumpin to tinker with and not exactly needed. Help E[rnestine] make hers – I imagine the
thing would be rather monotonous when about one third done and someone else
could just finish it or else –someway.
I’m not hankerin for the job. Why
not make another sweater you might do like Kay M – she ravels hers out + knits
‘em over each year. She says it’s fun
and she likes the change.
The Taylor gang had a
“swell” trip – 6600 miles. They got run
out of one town, arrested in another and then took the old marshall a ride in
Ford, and got turned loose for it.
Charles told school kids all about it.
It was terribly hot in Los Angeles, 93⁰ was coolest it got, at
night. I’m anxious to see the pictures
they took. Some of boys tried to
swim in Salt Lake – the water hurt their eyes and noses and found every little
scratch they had – they couldn’t stand it very long.
My jaw is still sorta tender
– but feeling better. Terrill pulled the
old back tooth that felt achy + I had told him about another one that had been
sore + bothered since he had pulled the old crowned one – “the one next to
where crown was” I had told Dad about it
time + again + do you know – he skipped that one + pulled one that hadn’t even
been filled. My jaw + tongue were so
paralyzed I couldn’t feel which one he was yanking on . Dad said – “why Dr. that one doesn’t look so
bad – but he just let him do it – Darn!
Sent laundry today on
36. The popcorn is popping much
better. B + I tried some last night but
decided we better let it dry a little longer.
Worked on books + cut out
the brown plaid for B. Carles let Oscar out a few days ago – put a box in the
walnut tree by their house. He ran over
to elm in our front yard + won’t come down for his bottle.
Joe Palmer’s baby died Sun.
morning – we had a busy time of it – building fire at church for first time and
bunch in office. Had about 45 in S.S.
[Sunday school] Huddlestons weren’t
there – someone said that they told Bailey they wouldn’t come to church if he
came back. Loren was there. Isn’t that cussed.
9:30 – Guess my honey isn’t
going to call tonight. The N.Y.C.
meeting is last week in Oct. – I think.
Night, night honey
lamb. I s’pose you’re sitting up to all
hours – with nobody there to make you go to bed. Tell K. I said to make you – if it isn’t too
much trouble for her –
Lots
of love-
Mother
Dr. & Mrs. Geo. Brother have a sow!
Wed. AM Looks cloudy – like it
might rain sometime + somewhat warmer – didn’t drag zettas in last night. No news atall – Ethel hasn’t been knitting
lately or even interested – since Bill came home.
Leona has been down to
Shanks last two weeks – Myrtle getting her teeth out – in Cinti.

What does that mean, the Taylors got run out of town and arrested?
Isn't that CUSSED???? (:
I think she was probably joking:) That Taylor gang was Grandad's cousins. They owned Taylor Brothers Garage and Mobile Gas Station in Guilford and probably went to California to take "Peggy the Flying Red Horse" (a suped up Model T Ford) to be in a parade out there. I will post a pic of this car next! But they may have gotten in trouble, who knows!!
