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.

Mr. Colvin came yesterday morn & enfrieced (?) them. walked out from Ottowa. Rose & Nellie are in eastacies (?) about it, no other news that I know of. Ella Galloway intends starting west - next Tuesday. Now darling If I don't get a letter tonight don't know what I shall do. do be careful & not get sick. accept ever so much love &excuse this scratch from your loving
