Theresa Lambert, Oct 6, 1919 Chicago plus more Winter pictures

Dear Friends,
How are you doing in this winter to remember? Me? Bad case of cabin fever.
Any way here is the next letter from Theresa. It's a longer one then the last few, but it has lots of information.

In case it's hard to read here is what it says:

Dear Howard:

I am answering your letter wich 

I received several days ago. Just as usual,

Chicago is still as exciting as ever. It is pretty 

cold out here, how is the weather out there?

Will you please make or send me a few

of those pictures we had taken on the small

pile of hay that time. You know where 

Kathryn, my two sisters, my brother and 

myself are laying on a hay pile? Well

about three will be enough. I lost all of 

those that I had. I have been going to dances

every Thursday night and am having a swell

time but I wish I was in Hayward. The city

is all right but nothing like a small town

for me. How about it? Did I ever tell you about 

the man who tortured a little girl and then

buried her half alive in her own basement in

a coal pile. They looked for the girl four 

days and he knew it all the time. I don't

see how he could stand it. Well he is going 

to hang at sunrise to-morrow. I imagine it is

awful. Another murder was committed Sunday

morning in the loop. A man killed two men

with an iron bar. The police have not found

him yet but I guess they will. Because two 

or three men saw him before he killed the 

men. Nobody knows why he killed those

men or anything. Say listen can you

make those pictures of me any brighter? But

I suppose it is to much trouble. I am

working in this office and so is Kathryn. We

are doing office work. We have a lot of 

fun with one man. He is Irish and full of

develment. By the way we are going to 

have a halloween party in one girls basement &

we are going to decorate it all up. Write soon

and tell me about your Halloween party.

Well so long for this 

time.

Here is the picture they both seam to like. Maybe it's because they are all smiling.

She had a lot of information in this one. I wonder if the person she mentioned killing the young girl is the same one she mentioned in the other letter about the race riots? If it is, that was swift punishment. A whole lot faster then they do now a days. 

Plus she has her first job working in an office. I wonder if this place is still in business? She sounds like she is really enjoying herself. I wonder how her Halloween party went? I also wonder what kind of party Grandpa went to that year?

Well with winter being so hard on so many I've found a couple of pictures that could almost have happened today.

The one on the left says:
Ranger Edward Jones is shown rescuing a deer stuck in the snow at Bear mountain park, New York.
The one on the right says;
The deer were so cold they welcomed companionship one day  recently when Dr. William J. Hanley formerly of Milwaukee and captain at a CCC camp at Gwinn. Mich., approached this pair.
 

 If this garage at 1947 N Thirty- fourth st. could just have held out a little longer some of the snow might have run off in the form of water. The roof gave up, or rather gave in at 2:50 p.m. Sunday. It belongs to Edward Wolke.

Snow on the roof of this garage at 1945 N. Twenty-eight st. owned by Walter Voelz, caused the roof to collapse. Three cars were inside.

I put these pictures put there because my husband said that he saw three sheds that have collapsed roofs from too much snow between our place and town. Now we don't live that far from town so that is a lot of damage in a short distance. 

Well that's all I have time for now so I will close.

Till next time.

Your Friend,

Sandy
