Dutchman Letter

[SA_Medic]

In South Africa we have people that are simply to stupid to be human...no idea what you call them in the US but we call them Dutchman...just an example of their "intelligence".

Dearest JOHNNY

I'm writing this slow because I know that you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your pa read in the newspaper that almost all accidents happen within 20km of home. So we moved.

I can't send you the address, because the last family who lived here took the house numbers when they moved, so they wouldn't have

to change their address.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I don't know that it works so well though. Last week I put in a load of clothes

and pulled the chain. We haven't seen them since.

The weather isn't bad here. It rained only twice last week. The first time for four days, and the second time for three days.

About the coat you wanted me to send you. Your uncle John said it would be too heavy to send them in the post with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

Jim locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.

Your sister had a baby this morning but I don't know what it is yet, so I don't know if you are an aunt or an uncle. I was told that it is almost black. I think she spent too much time in the sun when she was pregnant, always helping Jonas the farmhand with the mealies.

Uncle Will fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated. It took five days to put the fire out.

Three of your friends went off a bridge in their grandpa's truck. I always knew this thing was dangerous. Jack was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were on the back..They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down.

There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has happened.

Your favorite aunt

Hanna

P.S. I was going to enclose $15 but I already sealed the envelope !
