Mon, Nov 3, 1947: now you have a Mother

"My Dearest Ruth:
"...And now you have a Mother.  It must seem rather different to have the addition to the family. Yet it comes at a time when you're nearly ready to leave the family; so I suppose that it won't make much change in your life.  You've lived some of the years when you needed a mother most without one....It must have been hard for you at times.  But I think that you're a bit more independent for the experience."

--Letter from my father, Protection, Kans., to my mother, Winfield, Kans., evening, Monday, November 3, 1947.
