Letters From the Past

Years ago, my mother gave me a shoebox full of old letters, photos, notes and postcards all jumbled up together in a big tangle. Since that time, those slips of paper have stayed in their box, and I thought it was time they saw the light. I'm just posting the contents of the letters (and a few photos) in their entirety, hoping maybe some genealogy fans or history buffs will find them interesting. Surnames include Udelhofen, Van Amber and these letters are from Mankato, Minnesota and Spokane, Washington, for the most part.
