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.

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.

Sat. Morn

Dear Father –

Another nice morning – I didn’t get up til 7:20. Am kind of lazy – Albin’s were out last nite & M. & Bob came so we played 3 or 4 games of “Pinochle” – We girls beat the boys – first game we’ve played for quite awhile.

I did not help M – yesterday – but I went to town to get a few things – also went to see a Chiropodist about my bunion –

Thought maybe he could suggest some thing to wear on it to help it – but most things have to be made to order & cost so much.

Did not have such good sales the last 2 days.

I am sending Allie’s letter for you to read, then wish U would put it in an envelope & send to Archie as he wants to know the Palmer girls addresses.

Joe re-built his trailer yesterday. I am going to pack some things & get them out of the basement today.

Got your card of Thurs – yesterday – we will ask Dales folks to take you some wine. Joe will go & get it & take it to Dale before his mother-in-law leaves. I wonder why its so expensive there.

Well I expect Helen will be glad to have Howard in Calif. Suppose H’s wife will go as soon as school is out.

George will have some long trips to see his youngsters.

Mrs. Albins are some better – but not healed yet Don’t know anything of interest. So, will close as it’s Most 9 oclock.

Lovingly, Nettie
