Mr. Raymond McGrath
Provo, Utah
Dear Raymond; I appreciate very much hearing from you. I am sure this is the first letter I have received from any of my Grandchildren which makes it more valuable to me.
Well Raymond it has been a long time since I were your age and maby you wont appreciate my letter very much yet I often think and wonder if I will ever grow up. I think I injoy most every thing the Boys do. They are all my best friends.
I went to the Foot Ball game the other evening between Morenci and Duncan. It was surely a good game the Score was 13 to 25 in favor of Duncan. I think this was the first time Morenci has been beaten. It really took it out of Morenci. Ha: Ha: One little girl about 17 as I passed her said I WANT TO FIGHT. I sure laughed at her. The old Kids really did good playing.
Well Raymond how do you like Provo, I have always liked it very much I think it is a pretty place especially in the Summer time. Have you found any one you think more of than you do yourself, If not you haven't fallen in Love Ha: Ha:
Raymond, I havent gone to ROcky Point yet on that Fishing Trip I have planned. About the time I think I am going to make all ends meet some sun of a gun moves one of the ends.
I am going up on top Mt. in morning Wish you were here to go up with me. they are killing quite a number of elk this season on top Mt.
I talked with Mother and Dad the other day they are getting along fine. I amagain they miss your help especially Dad.
Well Raymond when you get a little time Write to me again I will always be happy to hear from you.
From Old Grandad
Ray M. Hanchett
