1919 5 26 Olive Rose to Florence Rose

This is the last letter that I have, as of now, dated 1919.  The next letter is dated 1923.  I will correct some spelling and some grammar as I transcribe.  The location is Pine Hill, Ulster County, New York.

My grandmother, 'Olive' Letha Rose Schnack wrote this letter when she was 10-years old to her sister, 'Florence' Alice Rose Lawler.  'Beatrice' May Rose Camp is their sister and 'Clifton' Rose, their brother.  'Papa' is their father, Elbert Rose.  'Grandma' is their maternal grandmother, Alice Estelle Clayton More.

Dear Florence,

Grandma received your letter some time ago.  Martha Hendricks came the other day and took the things out of the clothes room at the head of the stairs.  So, now we have a clothes room.  Papa doesn't intend to rent the whole house.

Beatrice is going to work at Mrs. Hezekiah Gossoo's this summer.

Papa says Mrs. Housman will give you $7.50 a week.  What place would you rather work?

Clifton has a working certificate that he goes dancing around with.  He is going to try some regents.

We haven't been to church or S.S. yet.

Beatrice has gone a visiting to the Shoemaker's and hasn't come back yet.  She can't go to school.  Please excuse the above.  I spoiled the pen.

Write soon
Olive
