Markdown:Even in the toughest times my Grandparents never wanted for much. The cylinder they requested in this letter is for gasoline for the stove. Since they didn’t get electricity wired through their house until 1997 they still lived by lantern light, there was no TV and only a transistor radio that was powered by batteries. They were for the most part simple people who lived within their means. They received a pension from the government and the unmentioned thing they are thanking me for in the second line is money I had sent them. And it wasn’t even a lot of money because I would enclose $20 whenever I wrote. My grandparents were grateful for every little thing that was given to them and above all they just wanted to see us as much as possible. With the current economic crisis we are going through I think more and more people are realizing that it’s best to live simply and to value what’s really most important in life, family.Bless up!Dahlia D. Welsh Hodges Land Dist.Black River P.O.St. Elizabether11th, November, 1991Dear Dahlia,I first say greetings to you in Jesus name hoping you are all well. Yours I have received and was very, very glad to hear from you. Your grandma was very, very glad for the eyedrops and we are very thankful for what you have sent for us.
