Arnold's Story: September 23, 1948

This letter is mistakenly date September 23, when it is clearly written on August 23 (as seen on the postmark). The contents fit well in the August correspondence about sending books, leaving McCloud on September 10, a friend's visit, and Leonard and Pat coming home to Glendale.

"Aunt Be" and "Uncle Dave" might be relatives of Leonard's wife Pat. 

Tilford's was a new restaurant in Los Angeles; they say it opened to the public in 1949, but from this letter in 1948 at least their catering was in service for Genevieve's wedding.

Leonard's Story: August 20, 1948 two letters

A letter from Leonard to his parents in Glendale and a joint letter from Leonard and his wife Pat to his brother Arnold. Leonard bore those bear teeth scars for the rest of his life. That bear incident came back in a slightly scary way some fifteen years later, when we were camping in California with Leonard's sons (from a second marriage): Arnold returned to the camper to report that bears were spotted at the campground trash area, then Leonard's five-year-old second son Larry ran off with a stick wanting to hit that bear that bit his father. Arnold had to grab him quick to explain that the bears are extremely dangerous (and also these are not the same one that scarred his father).
