Mr. Lovvorn I walked the street--
of Atlanta for nearly a week and J
could not seem to find a job any
where but Wednesday morning I
went to the American Can Co. and
and I got a good job, and 1 sure
was glad when I got it because 1
need it mighty bad, and aim to
.hold it too.
Since I have been back I have
seen Will Howell, Ernest Randall,
Sterling Woods and John Owens.
Mr. Lovvorn just as soon as I
get able 1 will send a dollar for a
new subscription as quick as 1 can.
Mr. Lovvorn I cannot thank you
all enough for myself. Now as it i»
bed time I will close this time
hoping you will write me soon.
Yours Truly,
A. L. Thompson.

to Monroe Ga. They say they wil|| unt jj p came home. Now betakes
if I don’t hurry it wil hold of the work and carries it on
take me and if I don’t hurry
be too late to start. But say wasn’t
that a fine letter Prof. Dendy wrote
to the boys in The Future Citizen
It was just grand. If 1 go to school
at Monroe it will cost me about
$ 6.00 per. month-working36 hours
per month to pay part of my board
the work is required by all.
Well give Mrs. Lov vorn,
Charles, Miss Beryl and Edgar
all my love and best regards and tell
them to write me sometimes 2spe-
cially Mrs. Lovvorn. I don’t think
she believes I am going to make
good much because I came back
there once before ; but I am as sorry
as she is and I am determined to
show her and everybody else that
1 can be something besides a
loafer and bum.
Mr. Lovvorn please do not pub
lish this letter; if you do please
leave out some of the things— just
like a man. And don’t give us one
minute? trouble. Mr. Lovvorn, I
hardly know how to commence to
thank you for your kindness to
wards my child and for the good
you have done for him he sure is an
honest boy now ; I have tried him
several times by laying up my
pocket book on tht mantel p-iece
and dresser with a little change in
it and he would come across the
pocket. book and bring it to me.
He seems to want to earn and save
instead of steal and spend.
You don’t know how proud and
how thankful I am and how happy
I feel that my ch'ld has changed
and is living a useful Christian life
I earnestly ask the the prayers of
you and all the Christian people
that my child may live a honest up
right Christian life.
1 will close asking you to answer
real soon.
Respectfully Yours,
Mks.S —B —.
do what you think is best—that Rome. Ga. R. F. D. No. 8.
