Attala, Ala

July 20th, 1896

Mrs. Elizabeth Bridges

Dear Grandma,

I thought I would write you a few lines this evening. We are all well as common 
hope these few lines will find you all well. I am so lonesome I don’t know what 
to do with myself this evening. I am by myself. Ma, Lewis & Louise went to 
Gadsden this morning to stay a weak and Lucy has gone visiting. Willie he is in 
Stonewall, Mississippi and June is in Guntersville, Ala. so I am by myself.

I have been making napkins this evening. It is very warm here and rains nearly 
every day it looks very much like raining now.

Grandma it don’t seem right for me not to hear from Beatrice. I can hardly 
realize she is dead. Oh! I won’t have no Beatrice to write to now.

Grandma I wish you was out here to help us eat grapes. We have some ripe now. 
Blackberries are nearly all gone. We made lots of jelly out of blackberries 
this year.

Grandma we get plenty of milk and butter and lots of eggs. We sell lots of milk 
and butter. There is lots of sickness and deaths out here. The measels are in 
town again and several cases of typhoid fever.

Grandma, today is my birthday. I am 20 years old today and weight 110 lbs. We 
never do hear from Aunt Gena and Uncle Nat and family either. Aunt Gena never 
did answer my last letter. I am going to write again this evening.

Well, it is nearly night. I have got to quit and go to work so I will have to 
close. Write soon. Love to all & much for yourself.

Your Granddaughter,

Mamie Christopher
