Dear Mother #6 – Jan 25, 1927

This is the latest installment in a series of letters written by my grandfather Robert (born on Sept. 17, 1916) to his mother. If you are new, you will want to start with #1 or browse the archive.

This is a letter written by Robert’s older brother, Harry (born on Aug 7, 1913).

In this letter Harry replies to his mother’s letter about the hospital she’s in, a delivery, and errands.

Dear Mother,

Darril M. got some dried abalone at china town and gave me some of it but I didn’t like it. I brought some home to Bob but he thought it was awful.

We got your letters this morning and we were sure glad to hear from you. I would like to get ice cream every day but I don’t know about having someone wake me up at five thirty.

It must be a funny hospitle without any ether smell.

Mr. Lambert was driving his truck to-day but he had another man to ul unload for him.

I think they are out of quarantine now.

I ran a lot of errands for Mr. Robbinson.

I took Mrs. Allen her pay check and gave the janitor his.

I hope that you were able to come home again.

Your Son,
Harry Waste
