This very well written letter was sent to the newspaper, along with a bundle of squirrel skins for the Editor to sell to pay for a subscription. That’s pretty unusual, but this woman seems to live in a very remote area and may be short of ready cash. She may not have a lot of people to talk with either, and her very chatty letter comments on recent news stories and the new Social Credit government in Alberta. The “no relation to Richard” at the end is significant because of her last name. That name was in the news, as Richard Hauptman, convicted in the Lindbergh kidnapping and murder, was slated to be executed in April.
