Dear Alice
Well! I won’t let another day pass + not ans. your letter. Something is going on here. I had that Birth report + other papers sent to me _ Mrs Keiser said I take care of them for you , So I let her have them for 2 weeks then yesterday, I asked her for them + she gave them to me + mad I think she has signed some kind of a complaint to get the control of my check. So remember it is the law if they should put me in the county farm to demand your rights as a sister + that would squash Mrs. Keiser.
Now that the postmaster (Mrs Woodsen) are rank Southern people _ I can’t go to their store any more. Why this place is the most antiquated place in the world + dying quicker than fast.
No, as long as I get + income I can’t get any old age pension + this should stop on the November 19th 1942 + if I could get away from here, I might get thru to see you once more but don’t think I will ever see you again. I expect to go find something + if I do not will let you know war is on + there are no houses for rent in Calif. All wood goes to ships!
In Arizona it is better + if we were together I could be sure of $10 or $15 for rent _ then some _ if I find this location that is something better. Prescot is a college town _ I think a good palce for music.
If I were you I burn up that snake + dead horse in those pictures. It might brighten Patricus. I am in a hurry.
The miners here don’t like Mrs. Keiser a bit, she has become too inflated.
Well! I’ll close + I hope you all have plenty to eat on XMass.
Your Sister,
M.R.C.
No I won’t stay here.
