Transcription

Tougaloo Miss. Dec. 8, 1918 Dear Folks:-I received your letter yesterday, and was glad to hear from you. The weather report was interesting as it has been quite warm here since Wednesday. Yesterday I went to Jackson and was really hot, although I had removed some of my heavy clothing before going and wore my dark blue dress but had on my winter cloak. Will write more later. With love, Mildred.
