JUST ENJOY BEAUTY OF THEIR PROS


       In the last few day I posted some old letters that were written in 1941 at the time my Grandfather Henry Smith passed away. I realize many of you have no interest in reading about family matters of others. 

        But,  as I post the contents of these letters, you come to really appreciate the writing style of the time, in this case early 1940's, and an insight to happenings of the time and that letter writing was one of the key means of communication due to inexpensive nature.

            Most letters could be sent for 3 cents as a long distance telephone call could cost $1.00 and upwards. It does seem strange reading something that makes no reference to television, computers, or cell phones.
