About Jeri Reeve. I don't know any particulars about it. I can't find the paper that had the article in to save my life. Someone must have used it for a garbage wrapper. Anyone it seems as though she married this fellow at Memphis Mo. & left him the next day. She didn't tell her dad but finally told her mother in Oct. & she was granted the Divorce in Polk Co. & I heard she telephoned Joe Strong & asked him to go to her father & tell him she had been granted a divorce in Polk Co. I forget what the fellows name was. I understand he had just come to Keo to work in the summer. It is bitter cold out. It is hard to keep the house warm. I ordered more coal again today, just to be sure of getting it. It had snowed all day & we must have about 6 or 8 in. I shoveled when I came home from work & it was so heavy I could hardly lift it. Honey, please don't try to drive through, the weather is too cold & uncertain. You would freeze to death. Well darling, I must bring this to a close & get some sleep. Enclosed are two Ins. notices. You didn't send the other receipt back for the bank box. The ones you mentioned in one of your letters. Your mother is some better, but not very strong yet. Guess she will make it now if she takes it slow. Goodnight honey Hugs & Kisses Mommie P.S. Do you still think you can come this way & stop? When will it be?
