Clarke Family - Helen Louise Clarke Lindgren Letter - To Christina Lindgren

 Nana dear - We haven't done

Half enough for your birthday, eighty one!

We thought and thunk and scratched our hair

But - there wasn't any inspiration there.

You don't like perfume - lace nor candy

You don't need lots of things that are just dandy.

The only help you now could need -

Is [to] turn back the years that speed.

We can't do that by slight of hand

So the next best help is - Disneyland!

When the weathers cool  and you feel fit

We'll take you there and pay the chit.

You can start again just like a girl

As down the old Main Street we'll whirl

Relive the days of high old shoes-

Go in a country store and choose

Ride the stream on a river boat

Or go Frontier - style on a billy goat!

We can sit and look and browse awhile

Or be modern and travel rocket style

We want you to go and do what's fun

And say it was good when the day is done.-

Love from

All the Lindgrens

This letter was written by Helen Louise "Pat" Clarke Lindgren on an unknown date to a unknown person in the Urmston family:

1861 Castle

Anaheim Calif.

Dear Urnston Family -

     I am a distant cousin of yours & have an old letter from Mrs LeRoy Urmston from Jan 1936 to my sister in law Mrs Joe Clark concerning family relations.

     At this late date I have become interested in the family genealogy and would like so much to find out what you know.

     Mrs Urmston wrote of getting copies of deeds and wills from Virginia Court records. Do any of you still have these?

     Do please let me Know if this reaches any of you.

     Sincerely

          Helen Clark Lindgren

               (Mrs Carl H.)
