Murray Letter Home Loveland, Colo. Feb. 7, 1956 Dear Friends: Since it would be nearly im possible, to write to all of our friends, anxious to hear about our new home and Betty Jo, I will rely on Neva and The Journal for help. We like Colorado just fine. The climate is just wonderful. We don't even notice the cold The sun is extremely warm. Betty Joe is like a different little girl. She hasn't coughed one night since we arrived here. She sleeps and eats like a dif ferent child. She is getting roses in her cheeks, and has gained from 58 lbs. to 67 pounds. We feel sure our move was not in vain. We have bought a three-bedroom house and are finishing off two bedrooms in the basement. We are doing this in anticipa tion of much company from "back home" this summer. Our address is 406 Grandview Drive, Loveland, Colo. We will be happy for anyone coming to Colorado to stop and visit us. Sincerely, Pud and Edythe Worthan Subscribe to The Journal Now!
