Yes Agnes I got a letter from mom two in fact and one from Burke her letters were hard to understand full of instructions and a sort of a plea not to make her out a liar in front of Mr Polley, Social Security director well Agnes this may schock you but I wrote the letter as she requested to Burke also a letter to her with a copy of the one I sent to Burke and I will have to admit it made me fill very small and cheap but on the other hand Agnes you Know how Mon is if she got's an Idea into her head right or wrong she is going to see it through and until she get this so called pension Idea out of her head I an not going to argue with her you have the right Idea Agnes Polly and I both think it is the least we could do but try and convince Mom is another thing I told her in the letter that we woukd gladly share with her what we have got. we would like to have her come out here and live with us welcome to our home as a Mother not some poor old lady compelled to accept charity from her son & daughter law so Agnes if you can figure out some way we can get this Idea across to Mom without making her think we are to hinder her or beating her out of her pension we will be more than glad to do our share in any way we can well Agnes I guess this is enough said about this matter and hoping this meets partly with your approval for it is the best I can do Polly wants to add a few lines ao I will close
