Most of the letters my mother wrote to me during my childhood were during the 1970's but here is one from 1967 when I first moved to my aunt Jerina and uncle Rons. It's probably one of the oldest letters I have. There is no postage stamp on this letter so apparently it was hand delivered to my aunt and uncle. It is in a faded blue envelope.
