Elaine Potter (21) and Dorothy Potter (19) in St. Louis, Sept 1935 |
The school tuition issue from earlier letters was not resolved in the Potter's favor; Florence ("Flapper") and Dave can go to Cabool High School but Marjorie ("Peg") is stuck in the country school at Sargent. This is financially a problem, as the drive to/from Sargent is costly in the long run even though the cash was not available to pay Marjorie's tuition up front.
Mary has evidently spent Labor Day with her then-boyfriend Art and his friends in New York See the 1 September post for some mementoes. "...but how can you lose so much sleep?"
Elaine is in St. Louis; Dorothy evidently visited at some point in September, 1935, which led to attitude once back home...
"Too young"...George is 60 at this point. |
Verna Madison: identified Katie Brown: Arch Brook's son Roy's wife Mildred's sister. Really. |
"Dora" is George's sister in E. St. Louis with whom Elaine is staying Dorothy is, I believe, in Springfield doing domestic odd jobs. |
