Paw Got a Job

Dear Son:

Your Paw has a job. It's the first one he had in forty-eight years since
we have been married. We are a little better off now, because we have so
much money now we don't know what to do with it.
Paw gets $47.15 every Thursday, so we thought we ought to do something
about fixing up the house.

We sent to Sears & Roebuck for one of those bathrooms you hear people
having in houses. It took a plumber to put it in shape.

On one side of the bathroom is a great long thing something like a
pig trough, only you get in it and wash all over.

Over on the other side is a little white thing they call a sink
where you wash your face and hands.

But over in the corner we really got something. This thing, you
put one foot in, wash it clean, then you pull the chain & get fresh
water for the other foot. Two lids come with the thing. We got no use
for them in the bathroom so I'm using one for the bread board. The other
lid has a hole in it so we use it for a frame for grandfather's picture.

Sears & Roebuck are real nice people to deal with. They sent us a roll
of paper with the outfit. We can't write on it very well, so I'm using
it to wrap Paw's lunch.
Take care of yourself..........
