but suppose she is getting along all O.K. or we would hear something.  I haven't heard from the folks either.  No news is good news I guess.  
Your mother seems real well.  Hope she continues & I think she plans to stay until we know what you are going to do.  I hope so anyway.  I still have my name in at the unemployment agency, but no luck so far.  No one can get help here.  Mrs. Walker Hanna has been advertising for help too.  
I called the Gazette yesterday & they said they didn't have an order to change your address.  Didn't you tell them?  I asked them to send you all back numbers.  Let me know whether you get it or not.  
Vince said he had a letter from you.  He was all hepped up about them cutting my rent when you were in the service.  He thought it was a dirty trick.  He thinks you are quite a jew I think.  He said by gosh he made some money on it too.  He sure has been nice to me.  Say, when do we pay the taxes?  Better keep me advised.  John R got a good grade in his music yesterday.  He has a new lesson now, so will take quite a bit of practice.  He likes it, but hates to practice  
Well darling, I must get home now, as I have lots of work to do.  Cliffie is invited to a birthday party Saturday.  Hugs & Kisses Mommie & Kiddies
