Dorothy Baker to Sara Pryor Chuning 5/26/1953

Tues May 26


Dear Mama?


I started writing this letter several days ago and don’t remember what happened. I’ve kept putting off writing because I thought every day I’d hear from Al and have my orders to leave . Maybe he’s doing the same thing, cuz I haven ‘t heard since last Friday.


We went out to the cemetery today to put flowers on Sharon’s babie’s grave. Met Mother and Daddy and Bobbie and family out there. I took Sharon and Carlton and Rickie. It’s such a pretty day. The folks showed us where their niche is.


There was some sort of Chinese Memorial Ceremony going on near the baby’s grave. TGhere were about 40 people there - standing in line. Each in his turn would walk up to a little altar , lay something on it, be blseed by a Chinese minister or whatever they are called, then lay flowers before a shrine. Quite Interesting.  -- missing rest
