Card from Elsie Upton

"9-10-56

Dear Margaret and All:

Just a note to let you know where I am and I am fine.  I am wondering if it is raining there, it is wet here. 

Judy(1) is going to bring her father to see me to-day after she takes her boys to school.

Eleanor(2) and family came yesterday.  I enjoyed seeing them.

Lillian(3) and I went shopping Saturday and to Church Sunday morning.  Lillian has been busy canning a lot of every thing.  She is making bread to-day.

I plant to go over to see Mildred(4) tomorrow, I am not sure.

The girls(5) will be busy going to school this morning.

This is not much of a note but I can't write and listen to some one talk.  I am sorry." 

Elsie Upton Note

"Bessie, Jane and Dollie(6) came over Saturday evening, they are all fine.

I hope you are all well and I will be seeing you soon.  Bye for now.

With love,

Mom"

1 The only Judy I know is Judy Suckow - her mother was June Gantenbein - but she maybe too young to be the Judy mentioned in this letter.

2 Eleanor Greenwell Seibert - Roy and Lillian's daughter

3 Roy Greenwell's wife - Lillian Nelson Greenwell

4 Mildred Loomis - a life-long family friend - known as "Auntie Mildred"

5 Probably referring to her Waning grand-daughters

6 Warren Greenwell's (1870-1923) daughters Bess and Jane and his wife Dollie Brown Chitwood
