I had done something unbecoming of a lady but now my worries are over and I can go back to Houston and leave this sorry of an excuse of living in Tallulah Falls, Georgia. I was never really happy here and being so far from home, and even worse being so far away from momma and Grandpa that I wrote them daily to talk while spending as much time with them before it was too late. Now that I am writing this if my momma had heard what I had done, she'll have a stroke on the spot and my church would ban to hell and back. I wish it didn't have to come to an end like this but it had to be done. I was so lonely and my damned husband never let me out of the house for any reason at all meaning I didn't get the life that I deserved. Do you honestly think that I wanted to be a coal miners wife? NO! I wanted a fancy house, white picket fences, fancy pearls, and a rich husband to love me! Now my hands are stained with blood and deadly sin written on my soul. I plan to leave town tonight and head home to marry a rich oil worker named Clark Miles. My life will be perfect and exactly what I deserve with more benefits.

Goodbye Tallulah Falls, Georgia.

Love, 

Mary Linn
