Dear Nettie,
How are you this cool morning? I sure hope you are getting along nicely. We are all O.K. at present, I went somewhere I never had seen before, since it has built up so much, it was Long Beach. It gets its name for being so long. It is about 12 or 15 miles long. You can see Southport from there. Almost.
We came by another place I've never been there at all, it was Ft. Caswell. It was a beautiful place, But you know, I don't think, I would like to make my hone, on any of the Beaches, I believe I’m a real ole land "lubber", eh. oh. I like to go down, and eat that delicious sea food. yum yum, you know the most of people just can't cook sea food like they serve it down there, well I had to stop and fix lunch so I will finish a few more lines.
I thought India looked real good, would have been very glad to have seen the rest of your children, but the weather prevented that, I think I was very fortunate to get to spend as much time, with you, as I did, the next time I go up, I hope to spend more time with you.
Well, Nettie I have some new neighbors. It has rained so much. I haven’t been over to meet them. They don't have any small children. So I do not worry about them being on the highway, as I did before the others that lived there. Well we had a beautiful Easter, but it was cold. I didn't go any place at all. I listened in on some musical programs. They were very impressive, you know me. I love music.
Alice Ann was home for the Holidays. I didn't get to see, as she was sick, and stayed in. She went back to her work on Monday. I missed her so much because she always comes to see me when she is home.
Well Nettie, guess I will stop for now. I have really messed up this letter, please excuse all the mistakes. and always remember that I will love you always. I'm thinking of you every day.
I am as ever you sister,
Scottie Belle
Love
