Dear Friends,

Anyway, enough whining, here is the next letter from Estella:
As always, for those that find it hard to read, here is what I think it says:

ex. wr. pl.
I did the best I could because the pencil is very light. I did include most of the words that were spelled wrong just because. It made it a bit more challenging.
I'm not sure if she was trying to get a job or just out of the house.
I do wonder if she ever got the piece of deer meat.
Here is a picture from the scrap book:
Teresa Hawkins, 18, lost her
power to walk two months ago in a
300 hour siege of uncontrolable
laughter. Yesterday she took a few
steps in hospital at Weston, W. Va.
I wonder hit her funny bone so hard that she could not stop laughing.
Here is a joke for the joke book, "Bedtime Laughs". 1956:
Would you do that for your neighbor?
Finally a random picture:
Written on the back:
"Hauling logs at Mackey Spur".
No idea what year this was taken.
Well that's all I have to share with you today.
I hope everyone has a good weekend.
Don't forget to drop by again for more Fading History.
Till then.
Your friend,
Sandy
