Letter from Grandpa
You all got me to thinking and I remembered that there was a letter from Grandpa Powell to me in my scapbook that Mom kept for me. I know it is during WWII time because he talks about his friends getting a tire for him on the black market. He also refers to Aunt Winnie as "Bill" and mentions Tommie Lou - so this must have been when Aunt Thelma was living with Grandma and Grandpa during the war while Uncle Tom was in the service.

Grandpa had a christain outlook on
life, but I think it was Aunt Winnie who told me a story about Grandpa and Tom Gwaltney. He did
not think highly of him. His judge of chacter turned out right.
The letter is precious indeed. Thanks for sharing it. I will try to get the other letters I have scanned. One from your Mom talks about school and she has not gotten a whippin' yet!
Sister, Fleta has that one scanned now on her page is the link.
thanks for the letter, must have been 1943, interesting that its wrote to you as your were a child.
