This may be the "snap" from Mother's Day mentioned in Hazel's letter:

Dolly Nevis, Hazel Nevis and Patricia Nevis in 1949 at 501 East Mountain St, Glendale, California

Arnold's Story: June 1, 1949

I do recall seeing a couple of copper craft items stored in boxes in our home in Gainesville, Florida. I guess they might have been the result of Dolly's efforts, although Hazel mentioned that she and Pat, too, took a copper craft class. I do not think anyone kept them as we did not know their history.

Her diabetes is improving but she is going back soon to the Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara. And she has a newfound love of God and church.

 It is hard to say which John has written this letter, but certainly a Caltech classmate:

Arnold's Story: May 2, 1949

I wonder about the Andrews family. It might have been them that I heard about second hand from Arnold's time in Boston: some distant cousins were keen to get their son admitted to Harvard University (it might have been Harvard Medical School) and were looking for contacts to boost his chances of gaining admission. Arnold explained that as a student he had no sway with the faculty committee that oversees admission, but not believing him or understanding how it works, they would always press their case, to the point that Arnold would turn off the lights and pretend to not be at home. It might instead have been other distant relatives in Massachusetts than the Andrews.
