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.

Rosaeltha White - Unknown date

 

Thursday Morn

My dear Husband

I didn’t receive any letter from you Tuesday night & was very much disappointed. Are you sick or did you mail one & it could not get thro’. If you were sick Mr Huckins would surely have miltes. We are as well as usual. I wrote a long letter & mailed Tues & will write more than this by next mail. Did not get home from Mrs. Richey & until dark last-eve. Mr. Colvin came yesterday morn & surprised them. Walked out from Ottawa. Rose, Nellie are in ecstasies about it, no other new that I know of. Ella Gallawy intends starting west – next Tuesday. Now darling If I don’t get a letter tonight don’t know what I shall do. Do be careful & not get sick. Accept ever so much love & excuse this scratch from your loving

Rosa M. White
