A letter from Pat Nevis to her brother-in-law Arnold. Pat Quits smoking in 1950, but Leonard does not successfully quit. When I visited him in his eighties, he was still sharing a cigarette with his second wife Lucille in the afternoons.

Hazel has been busy with church work, Girl Scouts and PTA. She messed up the payments of Arnold's life insurance again. Leonard, with Pat's assistance, is applying to medical schools around the country.
Hazel's sister-in-law Belle Bettencourt and her daughter JoAnn visited a few weeks earlier. Her niece-in-law Amelia Bettencourt Hyer and Amelia's husband Burnett Hyer stayed overnight on their way back from a convention.
Hazel's brother Elwood and his wife Rubye visited with their teenage son Walter. Her other brother Leslie and his wife Lenore came after that.

Normally I do not post empty envelopes, but I suspect this one contained an application and therefore will play a role later in Arnold's Story. Note that the Sanford University School of Medicine was in San Francisco at that time, moving to the present-day campus near Palo Alto in 1959.

Apparently Jan Schuck missed seeing Arnold in Boston on his return from Newfoundland. She recently hiked Mt. Washington in New Hampshire with Ruth and Clem in a blizzard.
