Mangum, Okla.
Dear Father, I am now at Mangum and would be glad to have my mail sent here now as I am getting anxious to hear from my girl. I went to work for the "Lay" here this morning. I guess I have a permanent job unless a sudden change takes place soon. I have met several oldtimers. Stayed at cousin Joe's last night.
Forest.
Forest moves. Often. In January, we presumed he was in Anadarko, Okla. Now he is in Mangum, Okla. I'm not sure what the Lay is. most likely the railroad. His girl is Mary Belle Fitts, who he will marry in the coming month. Mary is in Anadarko, Okla.
Cousin Joe (Joseph Lewis Sweet) would be the son of Henry Clay Sweet. Henry was credited with the founding of Mangum, Oklahoma. and died in 1909. Cousin Joe was married to Margaret Gibson.
