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.

Orville Matheson to Minnie Reeder July 9, 1943


Camp Haan California

July 9, 1943

Dear Mom,

How are you, I am fine. Received your box of candy. Boy it was sure good  and was glad to get it. Did you get  my pictures I sent, mom, send Margie a picture. As I think she deserves one. Well mom I’m sorry I didn’t write sooner. But in the Army we don’t’ have very much time, Well mother you know I can’t write much as I can’t think of much to say mom. Well mother it isn’t the quanity it’s the quality. You’ll know I’m well & happy Although I haven’t heard from Grace for a while, Well mom I’ll close for now & write later. Don’t give me heck. I wrote a note anyway.

Your loving son. Orville
