From A Mother With LoveDear Child,I am writing this slow because Iknow that you can't read fast.We don't live where we didwhen you left home.Your dad read in the paper thatmost accidents happen within 20miles from your home so wemoved.I won't be able to send you theaddress, as the last family thatlived here took the housenumbers when they left so thatthey wouldn't have to changetheir address.This place is real nice. It even hasa washing machine. I'm not sureif it works too well though.Last week I put a load in, pulledthe chain, and haven't seen themsince.The weather isn't too bad here.,it only rained twice last week,The first time it rained for threedays and the second time forfour days. The coat you wantedme to send you, your Uncle Stevesaid it would be a little too heavyto send in the mail with thebuttons on, so we cut them offand put them in the pockets. Wegot another bill from the funeralhome.They said if we don't make thelast payment on Grandma'sgrave, up she comes. John lockedhis keys in the car yesterday. Wewere worried because it tookhim two hours to get me andShelby out.Your sister had a baby thismorning but I haven't found outwhat it is yet, so I don't know ifyou're an aunt or an uncle. If thebaby is a girl, your sister is goingto name it after me, she's goingto call it Mom.Uncle Pete fell in a whiskey vatlast week. Some man tried to pullhim out but he fought them offand drowned.
