C. ‘Hill 1 Readers who used to enjoy the original Charley Weaver ‘‘Letter From Mama” segment on the Jack Paar Show several years ago will undoubtedly also appreciate the following mater ial from E. D. Mullins of Wise, Virginia. In an accompanying note he explains that this is ‘‘a letter significant of the type I and any ‘mountain boy’ might have received while away from home.” I have edited the material slightly because of space limitations. Chooseday Morn. Dear Son, I will take my pen in hand to drap you a few lines to let ye no that yore Pap an Mammy haint bin much-well this spring, but hope this letter finds you peart. No sir-e-bob yore Pap an Mammy have bin on the puny list fur the greater part uv this spring. Your Pap was purty porely fur several days an come in a ‘nats bristle uv takin’ new mony fever. Pon my word an honor 1 believe he would es I had not-biled sasafack and pennyrile tea an sweated hit outen him. I thought shore an sartin 1. wuz goin’ to have to take him to the horspital. Yore mammy has bein bout SI -V* laid up with the ’gripp and rumatiz might nigh all spring. The boys air as well as common. They got the newground cleared an had the log rollin’ bout the fust of Aprile. 1 had my quiltin’ that day an we quilted one weddin’ ring an one flower guarden quilt an got the top set up on ’nother one. The boys have got the corn planted an have hoed out the big field but hit don’t look much purty, cause hit has bin so cold that hit has turned yaller. The new ground looks purty good. We had a late frost an all that saved our taters wus the boys kivered em up the evenin’ before. One of the mules tuck the distemper and Pap had to burn two hornet’s nest under his nose before he got hit to break. We lost three yo’s and two lambs. One yo ete ivy and died of pizen. Two yo’s and two lambs wuz killed by dogs one chooseday night an we think ‘Lige Edards’ dog wuz one of the dogs in the killin' cause he wuz seed atter dark that night right fenence ‘Thaniel Bolden’s. Os course he wuz not the only one ’causeMhar wuz a lot uv different-size dog tracks thar in thqffnud 'round the cuarcas uv one yo that wuz killed at the milk gap. adam swapped his 'possum dog to a yo an twin lambs. Old Pide came in frash. Your pap tuck her to ‘Lige’s jersey bull hopin’ to git a heifer calf, cause Pide an Daisy air gittin up in years, but hit wuz a little ole bull-not wuth, the powder an lead hit would take to blow hit’s brains out.
