Tuxedo, [Henderson Co.] N.C.
September 12, 1933
Mrs. Rosalee Gibson
Vonore, [Monroe Co.] Tenn.
Dear Mother:
I am writing this letter hoping that you all will get it. I do not think that I am as guilty of not writing as you accuse me. I think that I have answered every letter that I have received from you all. I confess that I do not write as often as I ought to.
This leaves us all well, hoping it will find you all the same. I sure was glad to hear that you were getting along good. I do not want you to worry about us not writing more than we do. We will try and do better. We are made to wonder why you all do not answer when we do write. I do not know when ever we had heard from you until yesterday. We sure were glad to hear.
We have moved from Fletcher to Tuxedo. Tuxedo is eight miles south of Hendersonville on the Greenville Road, about three miles from the South Carolina line. I have been preaching to this church for three years part time. I am here now full time. Willard is working in the mill. Carson will go to work soon. We have been very busy since we moved yesterday as a week ago. We have canned 113 cans of corn and several beans. We have a pressure cooker and a can sealer. We used tin cans for our corn. We have about 600 quarts in all canned.
Estella goes to the Flat Rock School. It is about four miles away. She goes on the bus. Fred and Grady goes here at Tuxedo. We think that we will like to live here. The Fletcher Church hasn’t got any pastor yet. I have no idea who they will get.
Willard has him a girl here. I guess they will marry. Otas was with one of the C.C.C. Camps near Bryson City. But he was called back to Fort Bragg about two weeks ago.
We are living in an six-room house. It has two stories.
We will soon have a sink and a bathroom. We have a good basement. We have two halls and two porches. Yes, plenty of room. I wish you could be with us, I think you would enjoy it. We live just across the highway from the church.
Times is some better here than they have been. The mill here is running good. Still, it is hard to get a job as so many are still out of work. Well, I will close by promising to write more often, and by asking you to do the same. I have addressed this letter to my Mother, but it is for all. ---M.L. Lewis.
