I just met Ethel today after receiving a group of letters that she has written over the span of a couple of years from 1925 to 1926
This is the first letter in the stack.
Letters to Mr. Logan Howard
1411 Forest Ave
Knoxville, TN
Feb 27, 1925 - postmarked Henryville, Tenn
West Gaines St, Lawrenceburg, Tenn
Feb 26, 1925
Dear Logan:
And I am answering all so quickly again you all. I have a new location and I ust must tell you about it. I began teaching again Monday ten miles from Lawrenceburg. My other school was out Friday, I started home and was offered principalship at this place so I accepted. They make me think I am a pretty nice teacher since they want to keep me on the job. And I really like it.
This is a pretty nice little village. I have a fine place to board with some real jolly people. I shall spend the week-ends in Lawrenceburg and I would be glad to have a letter from you next week-end. I spend four nights here and three nights there.
I have not decided yet where I shall go to summer school. May not go. However I really feel that I should go some place.
Now I am stopping cause it is getting late for a little girl like me to be up alone. I thought you might be interested in the fact that I am still a Lawrence County school teacher. Ha! It shows of whom I am thinking anyway doesn’t it?
Sincerely,
Ethel
Hi Ethel,
It’s nice to meet you. I don’t know you yet but I do know that you are a school teacher in Lawrence County.
I know that Lawrenceburg is 250 miles away from Knoxville.
I wonder how old you are.
I wonder how Logan is to you.
Logan.... Who are you? I know that you live on Forest Street in Knoxville.
It is going to be a pleasure to get to know you!
