Family
Recently I pulled a batch of letters from my closet which were snuffed in an old envelope. My great grandmother had obviously saved these for some reason. She was good at that kind of thing. I still have my brown baby booties she packed inside a small paper bag. They are actually in pretty good shape because they were made of leather presumably in America and not some place like China or some third rate manufacturing company.
Well, the following is a letter my mother Elvada Overall (maiden name) wrote to my great grandmother and me when I was a young boy.
August, 13, 1966
Dear Grandma & Carl,
Well what have you too been doing?
I am working on cottage 12 now. At last I can go off the unit. I washed screens on the ward & helped put them up yesterday. I work pretty hard here on this unit but since they put me to work on 12 I like it better there.
Grandma are you coming to see me next
Friday? or When?
Well tell Carl I love him & want to take him some where when I can stay one night at your place alright?
Love to both of you
Elvada
P. S. Come & see (?) I received some candy from one of the girls
here on the unit & coffee & smokes too, they are nice.
Love-x x x x to Carl
