had funny dream last night. will tell
you what it is about. Well, I dreamed
that I had on my yellow organdie and my
yellow cape and I was going to see Jean.
little girl l know, and somehow got to
Atlanta, but I don't know how I got there;
anyway, thought I was in Charlotte and
was waiting for the Myers Park car and
it never did come, and finally climbed up
little hill, where some poor people lived,
and by that time knew I was in Atlanta,
and knocked at one of the poor peoples
houses and asked her where The Atlanta
Journal was. because I knew you worked
there, but she said she didn't know, but she
said follow me. l followed her and she took
me on a high bridge with big spaces, and
the lady put two or three threads across
the spaces and she told me had to walk
across them, and I was scared stiff, cause
you know each space was mile long and
the bridge was high up, and you could see
the streets way down below, but / went
across them and when I got across them
there was little place for me to walk on
and then the lady said if you see a little
light, and / held on to it and it seemed
to become little train, just big enough
for me to sit down in, but I had to keep
some part Of the little train so 1t would
keep on going. BY this time / could see
the big sign, Atlanta Journal, and / let
loose the little train and it went sideways
and fell off and just as hit the bottom Of
the ground I woke up. think 1t was a
funny dream. Good-by.
