Well Betty the 2 boys came in & we visited couple hours, I love Betty & do wish she belonged to Jesus she’s so good hearted & does all she can for us & she loves me to she brought the laundry back & she will be back 5th or 6th of Dec. but she will call before she comes, so as not to have to make 2 trips. Ann didn’t call today, Betty stopped there & said mrs. Hensly had stopped to get an order book for clothes. it’s something like Lar-kins soap club.
