>Went to see Henry Simmons' baby last night. I got up at 2:30 A.M., went to
>C. C. just after breakfast [to] see Thelmond. He is doing nicely. Back
home
>at 11:30 A.M. Stayed home in after noon. After my return from Cave City,
>Peggie recd. a postal from Nigger.

>My comments:
>I wonder if the Simmons baby is the same one that was so badly burned in
>1911. Of course you remember that Thelmond is Thelmond Williams, son of
>Clarence and Dee Williams. Once again, for any new list members, I have to
>explain the doctor's use of the ugly "N" word. Dr. Godbey often referred to
>Hallie Belle (Evans) Dunn, his stepdaughter, as Nigger; Nigger Babe; Nigger
>Babe Splash, and other variations. I have NO idea why. It wasn't meant to
>be belittling; he was obviously quite fond of her.
