Dear Family,
Well, guess what I got in the mail today? My typewriter, two bedspreads, a pair of socks, and some candy from Vanessa. WOW! On my way out of chapel, we were running to go see what Packages I had. I got a note in my box saying that I had some packages to be picked up. anyway, I ran into the Tom Browns from Barnesville! They are here for today and part of tomorrow, and went to several classes with me this afternoon. I was sure surprised to see them!
I just now got out of class and the mail will be going out in about ten minutes.
I showed the Browns my Ohio book -- the part of Barnesville. They were impressed.
The bedspreads were not what I had ordered but they do go very well with the curtains and we are planning on buying some material to cover the things above the bed.
I better close now and mail this letter or better say note . . . . The typewriter is very nice, nothing yet that I can find the matter with it.
Love,
Roberta
[Envelope part:] Now at mail box -- the type-writer did come through the mail not freight. It was in a box big enough to be a um -- motor cycle or something! And then 3 other boxes inside of that!
I had a letter today from Aunt Mary -- suppose you all got a carbon copy too. I appreciate the brown socks & also the bed spread & typewriter very much. Cost almost $8.00 to mail typewriter! The typewriter is blue -- now that I've used it I'll have to go & read the directions. HA! It was sure wrapped up good!!
Mailman still isn't here -- now 25 till 5 -- supposed to be here by 4:30.
