Truman wants to go hunting the opossum and his mother wont let him go alone or with someone name price. notice in Willis' letter they were trapping rabbits. these went on the family's dinner table. I don't think they ate opossum because they feed on dead animals but their mother might had cooked them if they needed the food. The hide of opossum could be sold for cash.
My father told how he and Truman always hunted the opossum and skunk for hides. At that time there were no raccoon in Carroll co. Arkansas. Truman would be 12 years old in 1925.

Price was Price Jones, a neighbor. Don't know if he was a boy like them or a man. You could look him up on the census.
