Letter written circa 1945
Dear Cousin Charlotte,
I know it is a long time since I last wrote you and have been remiss in thanking you for the interesting papers you sent. I am sorry to say that Edwin's memory is in sad condition. He has been unable to paint for two years and cannot concentrate on anything. He is 87 and Charlie who is 89 little realize the awful suffering abroad.
I hope some day the world will know real peace, that our boys have not died in vain but it will not come for many years. God has been forgotten too long. We must have more faith in Him. Remember us to your niece, she too has sent papers.
Love from Cousin Minnie
