1935 Apr. 9 from Mrs. O.L. Reese to Dear sweet Mary

had several days of lovely spring weather but the weather "up there" spoiled it for the cherry blossoms in Washington D.C., remarks that Sarah got an apartment and Grandma can help her out with silver for the living room, got $60.00 of 1934 pension money and now has paid off her debts with $35.00 to spare which she will use toward getting Mother's grave a slab, appreciates Mary's offer of monetary help but treasure more their appreciation for what she was able to do. Ben and wife haven't written her since Christmas, writes about hens and Uncle Bill. Love, heaps - Write soon - Grandma
