Ma was sayin yesterday that I diddent have eny get up to me and she didn't no what was to becum of me and I sed don't worry your hed of and she said go on away. Witch I did, not wantin to be slapped fer eny brite idee I mite tell of. I went out to the back of our house and layed down and begin to reed a story of Jesse James. My eyes got tired after awhile and I went back to the house and got the Bible to study my Sunday school leson but I dident. I never liked the lessons very well enyways so I hunted fer the places ware Mozes preecnt to the Izreealites and had his vizyums and I thote wudent Ma be surprised if I had a vizyum so I laid back with my eyes shut and tried to act like Mozes and by and by a spirit come to me and sed look at the cenes around you in 1936 wich I did and I seen a spirit come and the spirit sed that he'd tell me what happened to all the freshmen and I sed alrite, And the spirit sed Retha is fiting bush whackers in Australia ware she is a Michinary.

Charlotte is the handy werker at home and Charles comes often frum is farm to see how she is makin along. Robert Hobaw is werking in his father's place in West Lebnun. Estur Butler is mar1'ied and lives in a bungalo beside Mildred who is a violent woman suffraget and hates the name of Germany.

Bell is very popular and one of her admirers resqued her from a lake not long ago. Christine is trying to find a cure of soper slender pepole and Pawl is a hired man on Elburts farm. I think thats ennuf for one day only I fergot the boy who calls hiself Vanest and that is all un the spirit vanished and I waked up and told her all about it but she sed she mite of knowed Iwas up to some trick orl wouldn't have been quiet so long and she sed I'd better git the wood in insted of tryin to tell her sumthin she nowed wassent true wich I did and that's all. --Florence Garrard, '26 Page 30
