Dear Sherwood and Jane,

Whenever I think about growing up on Peakland Place, I especially remember you all, your mother and father and Ben. The Newtons "down the street" were a vital part of the neighborhood. How fortunate we are to have such warm memories of your family.

Lida, Cecil and I send our love.

Dear family I wanted each of you to know how much I loved working with Ms. Libba here at the Free Clinic. She was a very wise grand lady, she knew so much history of Lynchburg and the flu of 1918. We always had long chats when she was here about her family what they were up to and she was a very proud mom and grandmother. I always told her when I got to grow up I wanted to be just like her, wise, caring about her fellow men and always happy and very grateful. Thank you so much for sharing your mom with us at the Free Clinic.
