PAG2 THREE
I'va really been in a mess here late-
iy tryw to pt my wow in snape so
I cm git off to-the hospital for a few
days. J ami never spent a day in the
hospital in my life, but look like
ra gonna nave to give up ana go
tbii time. I been pulttin it off fer
quite a gpm, but the doe tells me I
gotta go and they ain't ho gittin
' around t.;
FannieW been tellin me to go ahead
and quit worryin 'cause she'd take
care of things while I was gone. But
khowin Fannie like I do, I'm afraid
to take that chance. Besides, she
ain't able to do much herself and I
donH want us both windin up in the
hospital, specially at the same time.
Seems like ever time I git to where
hcaojsee the light of day, somethin
alwdyaTurnff up to darken tilings. I
-went down to feed old Janie this morn-
B 1.1 . l 9 - .1
night and squshed them to death.
That's, the first time she'd ever done
that too. I started to put me up some
, gard rails Yore this last litter come,
" but I didnt git. it done. iBet 111
have 'em up before she fetches another
bunch.
I did think I'd git my sown done
'fore I had to go off to the hospital
but drat if it don't look like I ain't
gonna be able to. That's what a fel
ler gits into when he don't have the
things to do with. I been countin on
JLuke Nowell to fix my land for me
ever year for the past six or eight,
but I feel like he's let me down tihis
time. I know he had trouble with his
tractor and the weather's been against
him part of the time, but I think Luke
jest took a little more time off . for
Christmas than they was any use of
him takin, I told him last week if he
weren't gonna be able to cut my land
for me, I wish heM tell me so I could

ised faithfully that he'd do it jest as
eooh as the land got dry enough. We
had another right heavy rain on Sun
day though, so they ain't on tellin
when it'll be dry enough now. J
Fannie'a still on me to go ahead and
sell our little bit of cotton. She
claims we ain't gonna be able to pay
my hospital bill, fertilizer bill and
take care of other expenses if we dont
sell, somethin. Maybe I'm gittin sorta
hard headed myself, but I told her
that I weren't gonna sell it fer awhile
yit no matter what she or anybody
else said. I still believe the stuff '11
go up and if it does I aim to git the
benefit of it if my creditors will let
me. I ain't got but a little bit nohow,
so I couldn't lose much even if it didn't
go up. I aonit never lost nothing by
holdin on to it before and not sellin
it right after I git it ginned so I
figger it's worth a gamble to try
.again,':v.;;; ; ':
I asked the doc last week how long
"e.liggers Id be out of commission
when he got done a cuttm on me. You
know how they are, they wont tell
you 'anything- that's for sure. So I
don't know much more than I did be
fore I asked him. He did tell me that
I'd jest as well make my plans to sorta

the rest so much I'm jest wonderin if
me and Fannie is gonna be able to be
so close around each other fer that
long. - She's a mighty good sort of
woman and she's always took good
care of me few times I've been puny
but she's liable to git on one of her

words. When a feller's sick, he don't
need no naggin woman around him.
