Title: Letter to Helen Hoorn
Date: 6 May 1982
Curator: Christine Fisher
Note: this letter was included in the box of ancestor photo albums
Dear Folks: Sorry I haven’t written sooner, but seems that time gets away. I’m going to start answering some of your questions right off. Great Aunt Valeria was a sister to your grandmother Cooper. As for the pictures, the small album has most of the pictures named.
About the Indians. Aunt Valeria wrote about them in of all places the cookbook which we are sending to you. We’re getting to the age that we’d better get things done. However, we’re both quite well. We both have to be very careful of our eats. We have birthdays this month. Frank’s 77, my 76. But we’re hoping for many more. Frank is having a terrible time boxing your albums. Couldn’t get the right boxes so far he hasn’t said any bad words. I have a church cook book that I should send to Dorothy. It’s from people all about the territory. That is if she still is working out of Boyne City. I’m wondering if they still have the ferry across the lake to Irontan or if its been bridged. We still have some very good friends around the territory. Frank has your package about ready, so will close for now. Why don’t you come out this way sometime. But we do have hot weather so because of Mr. it should be early spring or late fall. We do have hot weather (110) but we have refrigeration both in house and car. Love, Dot.

Have had one case, but am hoping to have an other and be thru with it in time for Thanksgiving, but can’t say for sure yet. I think this weather will liven work up but haven’t called up yet to see. There were 90 nurses on one list in Detroit about a week ago and 35 on our list Sunday. Have had an offer of a position in the U.M. Hospital at Ann Arbor but didn’t think I cared for it. Please write. Love to all. Iva, 18 Henrietta Street

Arrived OK but am awful tired. There was a wreck somewhere and the trains were all late, so I didn’t get here till after two. Never left Hartford till after 12. Ate some lunch there and got myself some more after I reached here. Love to all. Iva

Dear Mother: Am leaving my case today. An old friend of hers has come to stay with her. Will let you know later when I am coming. Probably not before the first of August as I have quite a bit to look after before i can leave. Love to all. Iva
