Dear John Henry, It just crossed my mind a few minutes ago that I had not written to you this yearg so I will take- the few minutes I have now and write. I think my husband and I are the happiest people in the world. He does not have to work unless he wants to because Curtis Jenkins is now running our farm for us, and he is one of the smartest men I ever saw. This goes to prove 1hat an educated man makes the best farmer. He says tell you Hello I think he would like very much to see you because he often speaks of what you and he used to do at old Windsor High School. It is time to start supper and I must stop. The same old girl, Syvilla. WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH OFFICE Norfolk, Virginia, Dec. 30, 1944 Am leaving for China on the next boat going as a missionary pray for me. Signed - Fletcher Carr I26l

You know when we graduated at Windsor High School, we promised to write to each one of the class once each year. These messages from the girls and boys have always been a source of joy to me and l've often rejoiced at the inspiration that prompted us to make that promise. However, I have almost failed this time to keep it, as it is only one month before the year will be gone. Since I wrote to you last year, I have been married to a wealthy New York merchant. My husband is a lover of music, and he keeps me playing nearly all the time he is at home. I have never been so happy in all my life. Probably it is because I have servants to do all my work, and I can do just as I please. Mandy has called me to dinner and Arthur is waiting to go in. So I shall have to make my letter short. An old pal, Margruette. Roanoke, Virginia. December 5, 1944 Dear J ohn, I have a little favor I want to ask you. I am getting tired of wandering around the world and long for old friends and old scenes. Won 't you help me to get a church near Windsor somewhere? l would like to get back home and preach to my ow11 people for awhile. Trusting you will help me, I remain, The same old Joseph. E251

E 45 .f l ff -' -' .-i 1'-'1i:-f-we ' a , Atlanta, Georgia, December 17, 1944. Dear john Henry: I guess you thought I had waited until the last minute to write, but I stay busy all the time trying to get enough for my family to eat and to wear. Since I wrote last year, I have been married to a widow with eight children. Rather an undertaking for a man of my ageg but the young girls are so different from what they were when you and I were boys that I prefer the widow and all her little folks to what this fast age is producing. I would like very much to see you, and if ever you come to Georgia, drop 1n to see us. I still remain, Your friend, Norman Bland. jlillr. anh mrs. jjazuh Bunk annnunze the mm-tinge nf their Daughter 'iilsie Pauline to Zllitzlguglg Zliee ,Saunherea Fuuemher the tmentg-ninth, nineteen lgunhreh fnrtg-fnur Qinrfnlk, 'igirginia E271
