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.

WWII - Aug 44 - Orville Matheson

Aug 13 – 44

Dear Mom,

Well here I am on the east coast. And feeling good as can be expected. I hope you are all well.

Tell that Jr. he had better write often. As I love to her from him. Has his car been running okay since I fixed it. If I had had a little more time I’d have torn the motor down and rebuilt it. But I am going to try and get a garage of my own or hire out as a mechanic after this is over. I may need a little more training on some of these new cars. But know if I want that’s one thing I can be good at. Well mom will close for now and write a little latter on.

Your son with love, Grant.
