March 20, 1965 Aunt Estelle wrote

Sat.  now about 3 inches.

I rode to St. Charles with Millard collecting.  Quilted the rest of the day.  Mrs. Graham had a shower for Cathy Kelly tonite (baby) .  We had a good time.  


Footnote:  St. Charles is a small coal mining town about 9 or 10 miles to the West, near Pennington Gap.  Millard is her husband.  He worked for Collier's Furniture store and I am guessing he was collecting money from people who bought furniture "on credit".    Mrs. Graham was a neighbor and I don't know who Cathy Kelly is.  Could be related to Estelle Kelly, her good friend from church or could be part of the Emily Jane Kelly family, another church family.    I wonder what she gave for a gift - was it a quilt?  Probably.
