luciabThe following is an exact transcription of a letter I found today at Barbourville.
Sunday night
Well we found the man the teeth belonged to without much trouble.
After you left Dad said he wanted poached eggs and hot biscuits for supper I put the biscuits on to cook and was ready to break his eggs in the water and I called him he went to the bathroom and came in the kitchen and said he could not find his teeth I said “Where did you have them last?” he said he had a skinned place and put them in his vest pocket. I said well the police have them then.
He said where are the ones Bob made me and I said I don’t know. He said the last time he remembered them they were in a jar of water in the bathroom closet shelves. I could have choked him then a short time ago I had cleaned the shelves out and had everything in apple pie order after about 40 min of frantic looking I started at the bottom shelf in the lower part and went to the next to the top and found them in a mug not even in water. I handed them to him and told him to wash them good and put them in and he said they fit better than the other ones. Dad called Tom C___ then and he said he would bring them out to him. That was before I started the hunt. Of course Tom is a Baptist & had to go to BTU or what ever they call it now and he didn’t come with them till after church. I called Seldon and told her about it and she had the biggest laugh she has had out of the whole thing.
When I called the Hawes for the Chief they knew about it and called me Mrs Arthur right off the reel. We will get as much publicity out of this as we did over the Dog It’s a shame we are not running for any office
If anything else exciting happens I’ll write you.
Love, Mama
