| AT SOME LATER DATE MY MOTHER RETYPED THE LETTER AND ADDED SOME NOTES IN PENCIL. 1ST note by Levi Washington Leech says Momma's stepfather. I don't know how that fits in? 2nd note by Thena, says The Aunt Thena who delivered Billy, Richard and I. 3rd note by Mary, says Aunt Mary Crawford |
| Pencil notes by my mother on page 2. Parthena (thena) became a doctor and delivered Billy, Richard and I. Aunt Thena, Intha Parthena, twin to Joseph Perry became a Dr. and I , Gene Slover, knew her. The arrow head pointing to Mary to J. E. Crawford, I have no idea what means as there in no note? |
| About 1940 or 1941, I was not yet in school, my sister Margaret drove my mother, Saidee Rebecca Leech Slover, and myself Gene Slover, to Lubbock in our 1938 four door Plymouth car. The purpose of the trip was to buy my mother a typewriter. She bought a portable Royal Smith Corona typwriter, complete with carrying case and a typing book so she could teach herself to type. We went to Sears Roebuck and Co. to buy the typewriter. Somehow my mother and sister got lost, so I went back to the car some one or two blocks away. About 2 hours later they found their way back to the car where I was waiting for them. My Mother needed the typewriter as she wrote short stories for some farm magazines, Readers Digest, The Saturday Evening Post and some others. They told her that they would no longer be able to buy and publish her stories unless they were typewritten. I also learned to type on the typewriter. |
