Mrs. Williams,
My deepest and most heart felt sympathy I send to to you at this time. You both were so supportive of me in all my time that I was a teenager working at the boat camp with Clyde Gregory. I will never and have never forgotten the kindness you both extended to me.
Sincerely,
Amy Harris Anderson

Mr. D. L., will surely be missed., we always looked forward to seeing him around the 4th of July, when he came with corn for all the courthouse. He was always so pleasant and loved by all who knew him. We always looked forward to his visits and phone calls.
