 Marion H Ellison Autobiography

 'Dear Folks' Letters 1948-1953 by Jean Wyatt-Part 1

Married in June 1948, Jean Ellison Wyatt writes every week to her Mom, Marion Ellison, living in Glendale, CA.

Who would think that a young wife’s letters to her folks during the first precious years of marriage would turn out to be letters of love to her adult children and grandchildren? Although the letters record only the first 4 years of their marriage, they show all the love and caring that were shown by Jean for her children and parents during her whole life.
