August 31, 1965 Aunt Estelle wrote

Tues.  Fair.

I went to pepper market.  Went for Millard and Edith & I went to Appa.   James & Julia & Sally visited tonite, also Jack Slemp & Ruby. 


Footnote:  So now maybe she put the peppers in bags to take to the market - where was there a "pepper market"?    Millard works in Big Stone and that is where Edith lives.  Appalachia is a town about 2 miles from Big Stone.  Julia Slemp Music is her cousin and James is Julia's husband and Sally is their daughter.  They lived and worked in Washington, D. C. area and I believe they would have still been there in 1965.  Julia is Aunt Rose's oldest daughter, so they were probably there to see about Aunt Rose.    I believe Jack Slemp is her nephew - the son of Millard's sister Valeria.  Not sure about that - could have been a relative on Estelle's side of the family.
