User-Contributed Transcription (Altana's birthday - 25) Mrs. May Walden 420 West Bell Street, Box 853 Avon Park, Fla. 5 a.m. Sunday, August 28, 1940 Darling Tafern: Never was check more welcome! I hadn't had a penny in my purse for three days, and Foster's rent due, but hasn't paid yet. He came to apologize for forgetting, made a date when he would pay, and haven't seen him since. His wife and baby went a week ago to visit her mother. Maybe he has gone after them. So you see how welcome the check was. It was spent except for 42 c[ents] in a few minutes, as I needed kerosene and groceries. Byrum took me to Sebring one day last week where I applied for Old Age Assistance. But they are now just taking up applications of last Nov. and Dec. So I expect to be an angel and with the angels stand before my remittance arrives. Hope your father gets his. They pay $40.00 in Calif. I will get $11.29 or some such magnificent sum. But anything will help. I wonder if Rose and Charles Lewiston have called?
