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.

Quite a bit, huh, I think so. I’m going to LA again this week. I’m going down to see my little woman. I’ve know her about a month now. Pretty good girl too. She works at Douglas aircraft, nice home boy is she a cook. Really a swell girl, but don’t get any Idea’s it’s nothing cerious. Not yet. But can’t never tell. She’s a blonde, a little older than I. Although she’s really swell, have seen her about 4 times now hope to see her this week. Although I don’t know a yet. (over) I’ve also got a girl in Akron Ohio. Never seen her yet. So don’t know what kind she is. We have been to LA I’ve on convoy. Hope I go again tomorrow. Tell Jr. he wants to be good. And win more prizes. Ask him If he wants to come down later on I may get a car. The Government has some here cheap. I might be able to get one I don’t yet. Well mom I’ll have to close for now.

Your loving Son, Mat.
