Dear Evelyn,
A pleasant Surprise, hearing from you - nice to know that you are both enjoying good health.

Florence and I are keeping pretty well, also, for a couple of recycled teenagers. florence has been busy making crafts for the past couple of months. She had asales table at one of the churches a couple of weeks ago, and has a section of the basement here at home where she has her crafts on display. She enjoys doing that sort of thing as a hobby, and never has time to get bored.

I have just about completed my outside chores for the coming winter - raking leaves "tons of them" on our acre of land, putting on storm windows, cleaning eavetroughs, etc.
I am happy that I can do these things - it takes me longer to do them, but I have plenty of time.

Yes Evelyn, Mary is in fairly good health, she has been in a nursing home, for about eight years. she had two or three strokes, and losst the use of her right arm and leg, and her speech is very poor - she is in a wheelchair, cannot walk without help - but is reasonably happy and the staff at the home is good and looks after her very well.

Now Evelyn, I am no help to you at all regarding information about the Ashby or Clark families. Mother used to talk about her Grandmother (Clark) who lived "I think" either in Lombardy or Plum Hollow. I am not at all sure which is correct, and cannot recall, her ever talking about her Grandfather.

I do not remember much about what she told us when we were children and I expect you know more about the Ashbys than I do.

Sorry Evelyn, I am no help but I cannot remember something I never knew. Intelligent sort of person, that's me.

Anyway our regards to you and Ernest and if you ever get up this way we would be very happy if you could call in.

So the best to you both andmay you have a joyous christmas.
Harold Lake
