It is too bad that not more pictures were made in those days. But no one had a

camera then. The older the pictures are the more valuable they are. It is

always like that. I remember your mother so much when she was a girl. She

would come up to our place and play with us. The others never came at all that I

remember. They were older. I know I saw Jimmy a couple times or more down at

his place, but I don’t remember what he looked like.

It is so good to be able to see old pictures. Even I don’t have many old still

pictures.

Your mother, as a girl liked fishing in the river. She did real well, I understand.

My mother did a lot of fishing too in her early years. The fishing was so good

then.

I was sure glad to hear from you. All I get every day is junk mail.

Yours,

George Fernandes

Will get your pictures back to you from the Post Office. Your grandmother had 9 kids by [name?] + Archie that

Better that way drowned in the river.
