Mail Call: 29 Sep 1935 (Gladys)

From Gladys Potter in Cabool to her daughter Mary in Washington DC.

The clock is now broken, with the only time check being from the neighbor's daughter, Mary Brooks, coming over to visit.  Otherwise, just guess.  Convenient for Dorothy, who is coming in really late (but no-one knows how late, since the clock is dead)  Clock has been broken "for over a month."

"I would like a birthday real often if I wouldn't get old too fast."

"making ketchup...full even to the bottles white polish comes in"

Gladys turned 47 on September 25, 1935.




"Mary" is neighbor Arch Brooks' daughter.

"Dora, Walter and Robert" are Gladys' in-laws from E. St. Louis, the Bremerkamps.
Daugher Elaine is still staying with them, but Dorothy has come home.
Clipping enclosed in letter:  "Out Our Way" 17 Sep 1935 J.R. Williams (fair use claimed)
