This place has a washing machine, The first day I put 4 shirts in, pulled the chain and I ain't see 'em since.

You know the coat you wanted me to send you? Well, Aunt Sue said it would be too heavy to mail with the heavy buttons on it, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.

And your sister had a baby this morning, I ain't heard if it's a boy or a girl so I don't know if you're an uncle or aunt.

Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off, so he drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.

Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pick-up. One was driving and the other two was in the back. The driver got out, he rolled down the window and swam to safety. The other two drowned, They couldn't get the tailgate down.

There isn't much news this time, Nothing much happened.

Love,
Mama
