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.

May 28, 43 - Orville Matheson

May 28, 43

 

Dear Mom,

 

Will drop you a line. I would like you to send me some hangers to put my cloth on. As they get rinckled laying around. Well I would like to get Jr to go to Baker & find out why Grace isn’t getting any letter here. She has wrote one letter that I have received and tomorrow it will be a month since I entered the army. Don’t say I told him to, but he can just happen to go to baker & you know well he could go down & see her and see if she had heard from me as you hadn’t or else you can write her a letter that you would like her to tell you to write you or something. Well guess I’ll close for now. I am feeling fine going into town tomorrow night will get you a picture.

 

Orville.
