Believing that a bit of mirth is good reading at times, we offer this letter
from a backwoods mother to her son in the service.
Dear Son:
Your Paw has a job. It' s the first one he had in forty-eight years
since we have been married. We are a little better off now, because we have
so much money we don't know what to do with it. Paw gets $17 .15 every
Thursday, so we thought we ought to do something about fixing up the house.
We sent to Sears & Roebuck for one of those bathrooms you hear people
having in houses. It took a plumber to put it in shape.
On one side of the bathroom is a great long thing, something like a pig
trough, only you get in it and wash all over. Over on the other side is a
little white thing they call a sink where you wash your face and hands. But
over in the other corner we really got something. This thing, you put one
foot in, wash it clean, then you pull the chain and get f resh water for the
other foot.
Two lids come with the thing. We got no use for them in the bathroom so
I'm using one for the bread board. The other lid has a hole in it so we use
it for a frame for grandfathers' picture.
Sears & Roebuck are real nice people to deal with. They sent us a roll
of paper with the outfit. We can't write on it very well so I'm using it to
wrap Paw's lunch.
Take care of yourself.
Maw
