One letter from Jessie Hollis to Leonard Eugene Graeff, Susan Prowell Graeff, and Raymond James Graeff dated October 3, 1938. Jessie writes about Leonard's accident. She encourages him to keep his chin up and think of the other fellow who is much worse off. Jessie sent Leonard money as a graduation present since she didn't know what he wanted. She mentions that her children Robert and Addie May had scarlet fever during the summer and need to have their tonsils removed. Three of her children are all sick in bed, although they seem to be doing better. Jessie also mentions that Robert is going to kindergarten, and had a lot of questions about Leonard's accident when she told him about it. She signs the letter "Jessie Hollis and the 'Little Fellows.'"
