Dear Sis: After a good long ah-
sents, I thot /oiks mood ferget me
ifen l didn’t get buzvy. Thanks
to all the folks who sent me let-
ters urgin me to continue mg let-
ter writin. It is alius encuuragin
when you know frends enjoy
readin ’em.
; When / herd our county was
havin a fair after all these years
/ thot it might not jell—but it
shore wuz a good one. Reely en-
joyed it all and the quality of ex-
hibits was verry good. As I look-
ed them over I resolved to be on
hand with a fue things next year
and give those young winners a
whirl fer the blew ribbons.
Our Grand Old President is sick
and the nation worries and peo-
ple mourn. After all they have
a lot on there sholdern—in war or
peace—and they can’t pleeze ev-
erbuddy. Hope he recovers to
finish out his term.
Hev been a readin about all the
headstrong tempestous ladies who
uninvited tho they are, have been
guests of the ast coast and keep
folks in a dither, wovderin where
they will litr. I mean Connie,
Dian, Edith, lone and all the oth-
ers. I wu: ponderiu the situation
and co/nparin them with our Ok-
lahoma cyclones and wonderin
which was worse.
Those hurrgeunes warn you fer
daze but its hard to leave a sunny
home and youre work to fly to
safety anny way you don’t know
where safety is so ever buddy jest
tacks on the shutters and hopes
and prays it veers off to sea —but
an Okla twister is different. Like
a wasp, youre stung before you
hear it buzz and if you see one
cumin you don't argue, you grab
the kids, youre drivers license and
u bottle of snuff and run fer yore
life to the cave.
In a fue seconds its all over and
ifen it missed your home you go
on in and eat a gude dinner and
fergit if. If it mas a bulls eye
hit you shake yourself, count the
kids and cows and start in pick-
ing up lumber—if yoji can find
anny—and hope the Red Cross
hears about the storm and brings
in a blanket or two before sun-
down.
I gess ever location on this old
terr\/ firm a> has its own peculiar
wether trubbles—but I’m used to
this state’s so gess I’ll stay here
and weather if <mt.
Ever yore lovin Sis, Merrie Ann.
