3 Postcards Grace received from Ellen and from friends

Post marked July 30, 1962
Dear Sister Miles:
We had a fun trip to G.C. and saw the wonderful rewood trees, also Glaciar National Park.  Amid all the great meetings and crowds of SDA!  I think of our Potomac Conference Church members and send greetings.  We return the week of Aug 5.  Please pray for our safety as we travel.  With best wishes, I am,
Sincerely
Mabel S. Capman
Sec. Conf. Church

Dear Mother,
Just a line to let you know we are alright.  See you soon.
Sylvan and Ellen

(this was mailed 3 days after Carroll's death in Orlean's, Vt.)

Dear Grace and all,
Here we are in Florida.  Will stay at Jacksonville 2 nights and try to be with Hallis Nelson Sabbath
Thanks for everything
The Bowers

(several ironies noted with this postcard.  1. the front is a scene from Maine and the writing says they are in Florida, and 2. it is written in 1962 and address to "Mrs. Carrol Miles", she hadn't been with Carroll Miles since 1936 and Carroll had died in January of 1962.)
