in pencil in top margin Russell, Don - 15 Apr. 1986

by my sister, Martha Jane Bissell as they are going to have a memorial for my Dad out there. They were going to honor him, and he had hoped to go.

   By the way I'm in the middle of your book right now and enjoying it immensely.  Of course, I remember the depression vividly & your account of your "adventures" in it while not like mine still brings back memories of not only the bad, but the way people made the best of it - and even - yes, laughed.
   Mother says she wants to read it when I'm through - and sentimental as I am I think I'll lay claim to it when she's through & I'll keep the marker & replace it inside.  So if you want your book reviewed I guess you'll have to send out another copy.
   My best to you.
   Sincerely, Elaine R. C. Jones
