Dear Gilbert:
I know you think I’ve been slow and you’re right. I still don’t have it complete but as I can get it filled out will send it on to you. It’s such a problem to see after my mother and she is so mentally ill she couldn’t give me any information.
Please let us know something about your family - - your age, where you were raised, etc. I’m sending what I have on to you.
I notice there’s a Miss Lay that runs a motel in Stamford, Texas. I’m going to try to contact her. My husband’s brother lives there.
I must sign off; have so much to do. Hope you can read this. Have written in a hurry. I don’t type. Has been nice hearing from you.
Just Another Lay, Verlie Bolding.”
