Mrs. Sudie & Hettie Pipkin
My Dear Daughters

     As you both live together I will write to you together. I was glad to 
get your letters and glad to learn that you all were well. I hope you will 
continue to have good health and enjoy your stay at town. Well Marshall had 
moved to the house that Ernest lived in last year. It seems good for some 
body to live close by. I mean some of our folks you know. Nazro came and 
brought his new wife and stayed all night with us and carried Mary Sue home 
with him and gave us the baby. His wife is a daughter of John George. She 
lived near New Hope Church. Her father was Brother to Hawood Hayes wife. 
Her name is Lela George. She is a very nice good seeming woman.
     Well Florance wants to buy Hetties wash pot and wants to know what the 
price is provided you will sell it. Also Minnie Moore wants to buy Sudies 
tea kettle and wants to know the price. Please write at once and let me know 
if you want to sell them as I promised to find out for them and what you ask 
for them and if Howard has not disposed of his poultry wire and will sell it 
please let me know what he will take for it as I would like to buy it. I will 
be glad for you to come and stay with us some. Anytime you can. If I had any 
way I would send after you. I would be very glad to see any of you at any 
time. My love to you all. May God bless you all and keep you all safe from 
danger. I very much appreciate the present Hettie sent me it is very pretty 
since it was washed and ironed. Tell Lillian and Samuel and Margaret I want 
to see them. Tell Lillian she might come and stay with me some. Tell Howard 
and Ernest to come when ever they can. I will close by saying I remain your 
loving Mother until death.
                                             S. A. R.
