| Frank, Ruth, Alma with her child Cleve B 1928 |
Dear Mamie,
I got your letter today. Also one from Alma. She is practicing up on the typewriter, to get her a job.
Frank started to school this morning :”Wednesday” he is going to specialize on Typewriting, Shorthand and English & Math. I asked him to get them to let him do that, so he can get him an office job. He is so little that he never good make a living any other way. And he likes to be clean & wear good clothes all the time, too.
I don't know if I can manage to pay for the course & Ruth’s music too or not. and keep him in the kind of clothes he wants to wear to school.
Ruth’s music costs me $7.00 per month this year.and Franks course I know will cost $2.00 per month, beside other incidental expences.
Ruth will take domestic science & of course that will be an other expence on me. Dad will pay Part of Ruths science expenses though. I may have to make Ruth drop her music but I am not if I can possibly help myself.
She gets a credit for music. & she is tickled to death about it as she is trying to finish high school in 3 years.
She is a Soph. this year & Frank is still a freshman. I nearly cry when I think about how my boys has done about high school . Son is not anything but skin & bones. and yet I can’t get him to quit work and go to school
