LETTERS FROM THE PAST

This blog is to honor those who have come before us. These are family letters that I have had for years and wanted to be able to share them with family. It's an interesting way of knowing how life was in the past.

LETTERS FROM THE PAST

Myron F Taylor with 3 of his buddies in 1952. Over the last 20 years I've been working on our family letters. Letters that have been passed down. Including letters from my parents to my great-grandmother. Every letter was saved by my great grandmother and grandmother. I hope someday to either print them or give them to a museum. I am copying the letters–not being able to photocopy all of them. Each letter is in script. I know today very few can read them. I hope you enjoy them.

Portland, OR 1928 - Irwin Wineland


Portland Ore
April 24, 1928

Dearest Bro and Wife:

I rec’d your most welcome letter today sure glad to hear from you – That’s mighty fine of you in getting McCaslin on the Job – Now when you tke your hunting trip next fall – tell me where and I might possibly get off for a couple of weeks, and meet you and grandfather – I haven’t been deer hunting for several years – although here in Oregon is some of the finest deer hunting in the U.S.A. and fishing – say every body goes fishing for Salmon & Trout

But you know Archie, that when one is working a Co and expects to advance with them he has to apply his self and they expect him to get results so I work many a week 7 days and I go out lots of times at night and make sales for my self or some of the new fellows  I have been Sales Mgr here for the Co since Jan 1st and the Pacific Coast Div Mgr told me personally – that he was going to make me a Br Mgr – they are going to open Salt Lake and also Denver up and I might possibly get one of them I’d like to very much. Here’s a snap shot of the wife and my car and the old “Buzzard” himself – I possible look some what older than I did the last time you saw me.

That would be fine if you could arrange to work Uncle Geo’s place on a share Basis – nothing to loose only time a plenty to gain if everything runs smooth and I know that it will with you giving it justly dues. You now Archie – that one gets back just about what he puts into any thing and if you go in to win and keep the spirit up – he will.
Now Archie write and tell me all the news –

Tell Grandfather – Uncle Geo and all the rest helo and that I’d give anything if I could pay a visit to them but right now I’m pretty much tied down –

One of h boys he’s one of the crew Mgrs – he’s making a trip back to Colo and into Kansas about May 1st and he’s going to look you up – when he comes if he gets that far – show him the old hospitality that we always show friends of the family – he’ll tell you all about me and the Co he –

As ever your loving bro & wife.     IGWineland
