Tuesday Bear Miss Christine PittsBore, Miss. The number of days Have passed into eons ^r°™„ the time of the last contact irom me to you. I h -"hpfore me the trials and tribulations m Br * - - a3 and the consumptive Mr. Gxawford and His sorry son -and Wallace who is somewhere in Honolulu, who should be in the blitzkrieg's first line if he had the enegrv - and Preacher Clark, who is probably a Ey rocnite. But never lei, it he known that I would be one to judge the keeper of the Book, for the best that I c n do is to be a keeper of the boo.: 01 room Total or Captain Kid. n All of the probable contornist ends ̂ 01 natuie ha¥eprobably been covered when we finish this le'cuer. We have tried in typewriter, in pencil and ink, and several other methods of thought from one t.o another, but all of them are difficult to me. My probableIonly explanation for this would be that I have had the -lu and received some of Br. Warner's treatment at Warner-' Bets see, if X can arrive at a point in writing that is equivalent to my thoughts, not being a journalist it will probably be'.rather difficult, but a country boy will do his best. "Sou have given me a "£e\'i culte moments in. your letters that could pot be replaced or captured with any other symphony. How do you do it? I have enjoyed every word of them many times. And they still are treasure. Oh Yes, Flash'. Local News. One of our local proletarians went forth on Beeember 12, 1940 as one of our coramunties first sons to called inoo tne Army o± our great democracy. There was a band to play, a _ leading wind bag to tell of our great alAtions and^^ sorrows to give one of her sons. But in the spirit of time, go forth and make us proud of you as one of our sons. , . _ After reminecessing through tne number oi letters I have started to you, l now have them almost condensed into a 'Reader's uigest' without tne edi— DR.

So it becomes necessary to take another page in hand and try to make it a living thing in hand from me to you. To get back to the facts of life I was very dis-appointed'your last letter to find that you were noi coming to Me Comb after all with your sister to spend the last, of the glorious Christmas Holidays. The elation tfialfr the probability of seeing you could JZS& do iustice to one of Sullivan's editorials of Johnson* blitzkrieg of Mississippi. So, while I am all hetted up as one country to another, if I ask your mother, what will you be doing Saturday the 18th of January. It so happens that the stage of life is set according to this one individual(that can delveninto the futures provided that the word 'if* and 'fate' does not in­terfere, will be in Jsckson, Miss., on that particular day. I wonder if Miss Smith { Christine ) ̂ could^ also arrange to be there. If so, please inform said party of said fact. We will arrange a 'bill (8£ rights to have a little fun. Hell is going to meet Bud on some date, who is coming down from Greenwood, Miss, and 1 will arrange to come with her. She is planning to sto.y over night, and if you can details later. Have so much to write, that 1" cannot find words The effort is great but the mind runs far ahead of the printed word, that words become lost, and great thoughts ' are forgotten, for the:mom®nt, but not lost, for with the proper stimulant they are always re­captured are their sequel.
