Muncie, Ind./ May 6, 1955
Dear Helen,
Many thanks for your commencement program we received a few days ago.
We are glad you have always had such a good school to go too and have finished high school. And it would be nice if you could make something out of your schooling.
I hope you will not forget your father who has worked lots of days, where he wasn't able so you children would have the things you have needed and wanted.
Wednesday morning we were looking at television and say you interviews by Hal Simons. Could see and hear you as well as if we had been there.
It was quite a thrill for me and I know it was for you.
We want to give you a little something, but as we do not go to town very often and don't know what you need or want will send you the money.
Hope it gets there O.K. It isn't very much but maybe you can get something with it.
We both wish you all the happiness and good fortune you can get out of life.
Have a good time while you can.
Love,/ Your Grandfather and Grandmother.

Monday Morning.
We got one letter from Junior while he was in the hospital, in March, but haven't heard from him since. I answered him and Esther has written to him three times with out an answer. Hope he got better and able to go back to whatever he was doing. Expect he has found out he has gotten into something pretty serious.
Your Grand father has been pretty sick but is lots biter to day. The Dr. was here yesterday and isn't coming back unless we send for him. He still has Asthma and sinus trouble, has been having rheumatism in one leg for sometime, then last week he had a blood clot in the other leg. That is gone now and he feels better every day so we are feeling much encouraged this morning.

Nov, 18,
Dear Children,
As you know Xmas is not very far away and Mary and I were trying to plan something. I don't have very much room in my house, so, she wants to have a family get to gether in her home. We are going to have it in the afternoon on Dec. 22. A dinner but no presents. See if that plan will not work better. There is 39 now in our family and hope most if not all will come. Do come early so you can have time to visit and have a good time. I imagine you have several cousins you wouldn't know if you met them any place.
I am well as usual and getting along very well in my new trailor.

Love
Grandma Robbins
