That's the way a Kansas flood victim began her letter to a Plattsmouth lady who had given to the flood relief drive. I really do like them and I think it is such a nice thing you folks of Plattsmouth adopt ed our town as we all appreci ated It so much. We had such a big flood here and lost about everything we had. The water was four feet three inches in my two front rooms and some deeper in the bedrooms. I am a widow, 62, and my hus band died six years ago. I have a sen and his wife who live in Topeka. and a daughter and her husband and two year old son, who live in Hutchinson. I live alone but have nice neighbors and my children visit me often. I went to Hutchinson after the flood and stayed there three weeks with my daughter and family. I returned home Aug ust 4 and have been doing a lit tle work each day trying to clean up. The Mennonites from north of here cleaned the most of the dirt from my floors and also put my things out to air. They were helping lots of people here. It will be quite a while before a person gets fixed up again as everything should get good and dry first. Again thanks so much for the shoes. Sincerely.
