UNION RECORDER, MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., SEPTEMBER 27. 1928 Mrs. Hines Slides Into “Home Base” O. K. Piedmont Hospital, Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 24th, 1928.

I hope it u hall I almost call out—“Hen Hubert—be ready in a minute.” Irwin Cobb wrote that much talk ed of article “speaking of operations" after he had been on the table only once—but I can put it all over him with my four—and I will have some thing to talk about the rest of my life. Just think of what a good time I am going to have when I get home.' Do you folks remember about two and a half years ago how some of you would dodge around the corner ed. ling?

That hall closet is a wonderful inatitution. Then too—these “open letters” to my friends have made it possible for me to tell all of you how—I appreciate thc cards, notes, letters, and “poems” that have come to me and made my days glad. I thank the Recorder for printing them, and for the suggestion that they be written—for I could never have answered my mail with personal replies. This part of my stay here—the waiting game—swill probably be the hardest. Not having another opera tion to look forward too—I may get a little restless. So—come in friends —get out your paper now—and w’rite me another letter. Anyway—I hope—“it won’t be long now—.” Yours for friends, NELLE WOMACK HINES P. S.
