From Nancy C. Russell to Mrs. John E. Lewis, March 12, 1931

{"DisplayOrder":"1","Title":"From Nancy C. Russell to Mrs. John E. Lewis"}

                                                                March 12, 1931.   Mrs. John E. Lewis,  230 W. 2nd St., Kalispell, Mont.    Dearest Lady Lewis:                    Thanks much for your letter of Feb. 12th. I think  Uncle John is about as bad a correspondent as I am but  you saved me by telling me that the little model had ar- rived alright and I’m glad to know it pleased Uncle John and the Governor even if it didn’t any of the rest of the  Committee. Several people sent meclippings[sic] from the paper regarding the meeting and I’m sure when the thing comes  right down to the decision, that the one that is best to  make will be chosen and it doesn’t make any difference  who modeled it. so long as it is like Charlie and will  do credit to the State of Montana. . . . I wouldn’t be human  if I wasn’t interested in the whole thing and I’ll be  happy when it is decided because it’s bound to come right!                   It won’t be long now until we will be turning our faces  northward again and possibly this year the Government will  buy my place, - then there will be nothing todrag[sic] me back  to Montana. Don’t lives change and drift, - just like a  tide, - but I suppose the sun shines on top of everything  always, so it will be alright!                   Jack is fine, better than he has been in a couple of  years, getting along really better in school than he ever  has and Ross is a natural-born student, so there is no  difficulty about him in his work. The two boys have been  pretty good pals.                    My bestest[sic] love to you and Uncle John.                                    Sincerely,   NCR:ED
