Mail Call: 10 Feb 1936 (George)

"...killed by...one of those Bill Hart
gunmen like we have here"

Motion Picture Magazine,
June 1917 cover
Fair use claimed.
From George Potter in Cabool, Missouri to his daughter Mary Potter in Washington DC.

Page 4 excitement:  one of Dorothy Potter's beaux is shot in a roadhouse by a "deputy sheriff of the hill bIlly type" ----------------->

Dave gets a suit; some tailoring required as "Dave has a sort of a short neck".  Marjorie walks to Sargent School, while Florence takes Cabool High seriously, is "sort of like you used to be, sort of half mad all the time."

George's high blood pressure gets mentioned again, perhaps a repeat from the last letter, perhaps a fresh visit for ear wax.  "...if I had the ambition of a dozen wood cutters I am at the point where I have to go easy, which by the way I am, and will have to watch the rest of the world speed by as my speeding days are past."








"Emma" is George's sister Emma Potter Parker back in Corry, PA

"plugs"...earwax, which I inherited.  Costs $20 now co-pay, probably billed $200
