Transcript	Sunday Night Feb. 6 Hi Bob, Well if I were you I wouldn’t even claim me as a sister. I certainly haven’t acted like a good one. When you said send the money, I guess I expected a flying jenny [genie] to bring you straight to Carthage right then, so I put off writing you. You don’t know how excited I am about your coming home. I think about it every single day & almost expect you to call every day. And God knows how much Mom wants you home. So bad that she eats & sleeps it. And daddy too; he just a while ago asked Mother to read your last letter to him to be sure of what you said. I’m sure Mother told you that Cecil came to see Mother & Daddy last week. She said he was so nice, and I think it helped her to talk to him. They really appreciated him coming. The weather today was beautiful! It comes and goes though. One day it will be freezing and the next day in the uppers 70’s, but it was really pretty
