TRANSCRIPTION: STAPLETON LETTER 1936 – September “My Dear Miss Lewis…Thank the lady… “
The Cabin
Gilley P.O., Kentucky
Sept. 3, 1936
My Dear Miss Lewis
Thank the lady please who recently sent five dollars for Pine Mountain.
I missed the envelope with the slip on which her name was written and can’t find it — so please give her our grateful recognition of her interest in Line Fork.
Maude Holbrook from here, was awarded the medal from The Daughters of the [American] Revolution for the girl having the greatest record of all round achievement in Pine Mt. School. She has been given the place of House Mother in Big Log — where there are eighteen or twenty new girls including eight who were there last year.
Maude was twenty when she had the chance to go — Miss Pettit having loaned the entrance fee which Maude paid back by working at the Cabin the following summer.
All except two of last year pupils from Line Fork are enrolled again this year and one new one. The two who dropped out just didn’t have mentality enough to wish to stay — indeed — they only stayed six weeks.
Mary Lewis Smith was telling me how she remembered you at the Cabin and said “We are kin somewhere in our fore-fathers.”
The neighbors continually ask about Miss Pettit and can’t believe that she won’t come back again. It is such a comfort that she is with all who have loved and admired her so long.
Most Sincerely Yours,
Ida S. Stapleton
