I found a Pitcher & Bowl in an abandoned mobile home in Sandy Valley, Nevada, a
small town of about 500 people, 50 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The Person or Persons who
left it did not pay their rent and never came back for their belongings. This was in the
early 1980's. It is a beautiful set.
Anyway there was a letter in the Pitcher. Here it is:
Envelope reads: LaVern
" Peace, Patience & Serenity"
Letter reads:
" October 20, 1971
Dear Cousin LaVern:
This is the bowl Lester you and I, were baptized from on Feb. 15, 1914. It had taken
place at 320 E. 138th St. Riverdale, Illinois. Grandma's flat where Aunt Pearl and
family lived so many years. Mother and Dad lived there first and I was born there Aug. 6,
1913. We were baptized by Rev.J.C.Helms, Minister of Immanuel United Church of Christ.
Hoping this letter finds you, and your loved ones well and happy
As always
Lovell"
