Shipp 2. 1998 Ancestral File (nil) 3. 1997 Ordinance Index LETTER: Dear Couisn Willie We have been waiting, to hear from you ever since you left; but have not received a word although you promised to write as soon as you arrived at home, is it that you wrote and the letter was misplaced or is it that you do not care to correspond. You must write to me and tell all the news. As there is nothing new here. Brother Julius is married and has a pretty little girl his lives about eight miles from Cusseta up in the pinewoods. Brother Wes has just returned from school, sister Laura is on her way home from school. I have been bitten very bad by a snake but I am better now. I have a sweet little sister only five months old her name is Claude. Father says that he don't believe he ever had as sorry a crop in his life on all of his places the rain has ruined most everything, most especially the cotton, it will not make half as much as it did last year. I think you are tired of reading (my letter) So, I must leave write soon excuse this, for I am yet a little boy. Edgar Shipp
