--Postcard from my grandmother, Jessie Maybelle (Berger) Brown, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Sidney DeVere Brown, Southwestern College, Winfield, Kans., Wednesday, October 1, 1941.
My grandmother wrote my father this letter, just as he was starting his freshman year at Southwestern College, a Methodist school 30 miles south of my grandparents' farm. She apparently had driven down to the college to drop off my father (16 years old at the time), while my grandfather stayed at the farm. Note that he mailed home his dirty laundry and she washed it and mailed it back to him.
