User-Contributed Transcription 6/ I think I'd like a record of Marian Anderson's for a Mother's Day gift since I can't have you. If you can get her lullaby - some great composer wrote it - can't think this minute, who - but it's exquisite. I don't need shoes or dresses or money Dearie, you supply me with everything needful. Shall be waiting to hear of yr Mother's Day celebration. Guess you haven't heard yet of their vacation trip? Mrs. Catlin still here. She always tells me to be sure and tell you that she always asks about you. She admires you so much. - same as I do, and Laura, and a lot of others. Mrs. Catlin told me of a request from Byrum that she make him a pie. Said she was going to make it whether or not he came in next day to get it. I haven't seen him for weeks, but I know he is very busy with his fruit, Conservative work on his land, etc. Am anxious for a report from Frank. Hope he keeps his mind. Sorry I lost the letter from the County Visitor. Meant to send it to you, but haven't found it tho searched vigilantly - The Southern part of the state is having rain while we are not. When does Max's job begin at the mill? I'm feeling "placid content" like the Messiahs, today Much love. Mother.
