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.

Irvin Wineland - July 1 1950

Seattle Wash

July 1, 1950

 

Dear Archie:

We rec’d your letter Wed. and have been busy, so didn’t get a chance to write till now.

Say this Korean Business doesn’t look any too good. I think Russua will pawn off commence China troops to help the North Koreans, before she would help out and I think she’s afraid of US giving her an atomic Bombing.

I talked to Mabel to day and I said I’d certainly send some money and all your bonds to you to bank back there. I think Marion and I’ll send a couple of thous and to some bank east of the nets as if this power Key is ever lit Russia will sure as hell bomb Seattle as one of the 1st US Cities and believe me if they started, I’m getting out. I told Brown that I was pulling out for Montana or points east and no fooling.

You better got lived up on something back there and have Mabel and Shirley come there it’s sure lots safer, and get a extra room for Marion & me –

Boeing’s getting a new contract that’s what Bob, he’s Marion’s sisters husband, he said that a plane with 4 stars was at Boeings for two days, Gen Dewit it was I guess that he’s setting Boeings up for more production.  Those fellows working here, if anything starts with be froze to their jobs, and I wouldn’t want that her in Seattle.

Well I was sorry to hear that the crops are not so good there.

We are leaving next Fri eve for our vacation, will either go up in Canada or to Glacier Park, will write you a line at either place. If we go to Calgary will look up George at Bowdin and say helo for all of us.

We are going over to your place this evening as Shirley leaves in the morning with her grandmother for Oregon.

Well take care of your self and write.

Marion said that she’d like a game or two of Pinocle –

 

As ever Your bro

Irvin & Marion
