"Dear Clara,
I was just thinking that you was due me a letter. So why dont you write. Nope you are getting on alright.
I am not feeling so well today. Wish you could come, tell Evelyn that it takes the pears a long time to get ripe. I went to the Chapel one day + to Newman + then had to have the Dr but I am better at times. How is everybody up there? I want you to have write me a long better + tell me all the news. Tell Orzell we still live at Reidville. Now is Brad getting on? Clara did your hog die? Come + spend the day with us soon. Lawrence is picking cotton. How is Jess + the girls? I hope you can read this , my eyes dont get any better.
With love, Bess."
