I think she will be changing up soon as she gets her allotment Paul is sending. She sent Paul [Jr] a lot of new clothes, he sure needed them. Well we heard J. C. [Colvin] got home. We never got to see him, he went to Houston to work. We ahven't got to go to the Flat to church in a long time. Do you ever hear any good singing there, You never tell what you are learning to be.
