Letter by Nancy C. Russell to Mrs. Cal Hubbard; friendly letter. Typed on both front and back (TU2009.39.974.1-TU2009.39.974.2).

[1] Pasadena, California. May 20, 1930. Mrs. Cal. Hubbard, 215 Third Street, North, Great Falls, Montana. Dearest Kate: You wont mind a typewritten letter. First, I want to tell you that I will see about the flowers for you and with pleasure. Next, I am tickled to pieces that you are such a busy lady with your new house. How fine it will be to get into a place where you have room to take a long breath without hitting some one. We didn’t forget about the Young Berries but unfortun- ately, all the roots had been sent away in various di- rections excepting four of five but they will be sent on to you and next spring you shall have some more to make a nice hedge. They certainly are good and we have been enjoying them for the past three weeks. I am glad we are getting a few this year before we pull North. Mrs. Trigg has improved a thousand percent. She and Josephine will be leaving next week for home. I don’t think any one improves with a change more than Mrs. Trigg. I didn’t know Mr. Gibson had left the bank. I had not seen him for some time but thought he had gone on a va- cation. I shall find out what happened (maybe). I liked him and shall miss his counsel. He was mighty kind to a friend of mine named Kate. I don’t know much about anybody that you know down here as my path doesn’t seem to parallel the paths of the other faction and to say I have been pattering along down a trail intent on a certain accomplishment does not really give you much idea as to how busy I have been in the past month and I will not cease until justice has taken possession of the whole situation. Personalities don’t deal in this. It is too big for any one person and little nagging things that are sup- posed to aggravate the individual don’t touch me as I don’t deal in them. The whole thing is too important and too precious to let any one or any ten individuals -2- Mrs. Cal. Hubbard block the thing that should be accomplished. Right will win – it always has and I am not worried too much at the present time. There is a warm feeling inside my chest when I realize I have some friends who do not consider me anything but what I am and you and Cal are two of ‘em and your friendship for Charlie will wnat[sic] to see him justly represented. Squeeze that little girl of yours for me. Lots of love to you all. Sincerely,
