Dear Marguerite
I received your letter of June 22 and should wrote you before now but I have been verry busy. As you know that I always aim(?) to let me tell it but Delia does not always tell it that way. I have been looking after Queen<\/em> [horse] since you left as I did when you went over sea and will try to look after her as long as you keep her in reach of me. It looks like I will have to, for Miss Medcalf <\/em>[Anne Ruth Medcalf,<\/a> Community Nurse, Line Fork] rode her to Whitesburg and went to the Blacksmith there to get a shoe fixed but, no, Queen would not let <\/em>[013b] <\/em><\/strong>him tuch her. After half an hour she brought her back for me to fix up and you know that makes me kindly proud of myself. I think that I will shoe for Miss Medcalf and Miss Smith <\/em>[Elizabeth G. Smith<\/a>, teacher, Line Fork] as long as they stay at Line Fork<\/a> and when some new workers come in, think that I will try to give the job to some one else.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are so glat that your mother is so well, hope that she can hold out. I will bet that your father has a good time at camp. I would live to be with him for a few days. I think that your father will grow up if you will just give him time. You know some Boys grow slow. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[013c] <\/em><\/strong>Delia <\/em>[Henry\u2019s wife] has started saving her pennies right now. She could not write you until some one else wrote, so she could put her letter in. I guess that she is telling you all of the news for she knows a lot more than I. As you know that women always do. Mother <\/em>[Sally Dixon Creech]<\/a> is not much well but able to be up most of the time. Doubtless you can give Ethel <\/em>[Ethel de Long Zande<\/a>, PMSS Co-director] all of Pine Mt news when you get Delia\u2019s letter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best regard to all of your family. I remain ever your friend.<\/em>
Henry C. Creech<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
