"Dear
Betty" -- Letters from Helen Dawe and Betty Youngson, 1976, Page
2
A controversy
over sewers comes to the fore.Changes to Sechelt's waterfront dismay
Helen and Betty alike. Helen salvages a wood splinter from a decaying
Sechelt landmark and mails it to Betty. Helen's devoted search for photos
and information on Sechelt's people and places continues apace.

Dear
Betty,
Your
Easter card is a breath of spring, and in this chill, damp season
we need reminders that summer is on the way. When I read your
"recipe" for the maple leaf egg to Ada she sent you
the enclosed leaf which she picked up from President Kennedy's
grave.

Dear Helen,
Here
it is, over a month since I received your most welcome and interesting
letter and old slow-poke me is just getting around to answering.
Please forgive.

Dear
Betty,
PERSONAL:
It is too bad that we do not know which day in July your mother
was born. Will you be kind enough to hold the enclosed card and
give it to Mrs. Youngson on her birthday.

Dear
Betty,
If
this letter leaves Sechelt on Monday it will be trucked out by
Julie Steele Clarke. The man whom the contractor employs as his
relief driver on Mondays and Tuesdays broke his leg and Julie
earns $35.00 per day for the two days until the invalid returns.

Dear
Helen,
How
nice it was to have your letter yesterday -- especially so as I
know I owed you one -- so I look up this as an extra special and
lovely "Bonus."
