!LETTER
Sullivan, No. Jan. 10, 1992
Brian,
I as going to write you a little story I don't think you have ever heard.
We bought that house and lot at Annapolis in 1940, I think. The lot was 50 feet by 150 ft. Avery was carrying the mail at that time. And he didn't make very such money as he had to bid it down so low to get the mail route.
We paid $350.00 for the house and lot and paid a little over $17.00 a month until we got it paid for (seemed like a life time).
We lived there about 10 years then we moved to the Vulcan tower, then we moved to Sullivan.
We have been living in Sullivan 37 years. We moved here in July after Paul died in April 1955.
We sold the house and lot for $2000.00 cash and thought we were rich. Do you like stories like this? Jim does.
Love,
Aunt Myrtle
