Letter about family in 1937

A local woman had told us long ago, and discussed with mother, that she had known the Starks in the coal mining town of Spring Canyon. Mother remembered her.  Marian Monsen wrote this letter so that we could have her memories of the Stark family preserved.  At that time, the coal mines were only open during the part of the year when there was a market for coal, the fall and winter.  The mines closed and the miners were laid off every summer.  The miners and their families usually lived in company provided housing while the mines were open and then lived elsewhere during the summer.  This letter gives a little peek into the living conditions and lives of our grandparents and their young family.
