Looking for Martin (1964)

Lincoln, Nebr.

March 15, 1964

Dear Sir -

I wish to write to you about my son- Martin Miles Jensen as far as I know my son is still employed by the maritime unions.

My son's number is Z-1018 625 - D1.

I hope you can find out where my son is at the present as I haven't heard from him for months. I hope this information will explain about my son.

His next of kin - father is Mr. Lars P. Jensen, 2511 Emmet Street, Omaha, Nebraska.

I talked to Mr. Lars Jensen over the telephone a few days ago and we agreed to try to find out about our son.

We would like to know what his address is when he comes to New York. That is if still employed by a shipping company. Now at Christmas time when I received a gift from him he wrote his return address to his father's address in Omaha, Nebr. Also some-time ago when he wrote to me he gave his address as -

Martin Miles Jensen

Sea man's Unit

General Delivery

New York, New York.

Now back in 1957 my son was employed as wiper on the SS Transpacific. When I wrote about my son about that time I heard that I could discuss ths matter with some-one from the Red Cross. Do you suppose you could see about this problem?

I hoe I have hear from you very soon.

There is sickness in my family and I would like for my son to return to Nebraska.

Thanking you very much.

I am

Respectfully,

Mrs. Jensen

Happy Mother's Day and write soon.

In Regard to My Mother, Mrs. Ruth Jensen

Elin's Christmas Letter, 1964

1964
Colville, Wash-
Sat.

Dear Mother:

Thought I'd better write a note in this Xmas card. We are fine.

We have had some terrible cold weather. It was 19 below zero the first part of last week. To-day its 10 degrees above zero.

I received the Oakland papers. Thank you for sending them. I felt awfull sorry about hearing of Mrs. Nylander's death. I got a letter and card from Elizabeth the other day. She said in her letter her Dad died in 1962. I guess he was at a Rest Home in Omaha. Elizabeth & Family live at Grandview, Wash. This is the first I've heard from them in a long time. One thing nice about Xmas you hear from friends and relitives you don't hear from the rest of the year. I haven't heard from Lottie, Marie or Betty yet at this Xmas season but there's time yet.

I have been working steady. I do Baby sitting. I go at 8 A.M. in the morning and work till 5:15 P.M. at nite.

I work for a girl that works in a dentist's office.

I take care of a 13 mo old Baby so I'm kept pretty busy. Last nite I took care of 2 children while their folks went Xmas shopping.

It's really beautiful out now with all the new hallen snow.

Really look's like Xmas.

Guess I'd better get this in the mail as the mail comes early. Hope you have a good Xmas & hope you hear from all your family at this Holiday Season. I'm gong to make out a card to Garfield to-day also.

Merry Xmas - and a happy New Year -

Love Elin and Family -

Dear Marie -

Enclosed you will find a greeting card to express my thanks to you for paying for the telephone calls. Also some clippings I thought you may like.

Marie I forgot to mention what I thought would be nice to send you father for Christmas. It is some food - Danish kind. Like a few of different kinds. If you go to a Danish bakery you may find what you think your father would care for. But don't send any clothes as he don't need any I don't think. And you know they have company on Christmas and something extra to eat would be like an appetizer.

I hope you remember to send  my brother Garfield something. A 1/2 lb. of hard candy I am sure would be welcome.

Marie I am sure disappointed that you are not coming as I had hoped you would.

I started to think what I could do next. And then it dawned on me - why not call the social worker at the State Hospital? And this I did with good results. Lottie may have let you now that were talked to this social worker at 2 different times last summer. 

Well please be at home next Sunday and I will explain about the conversation. To me it was good news.

Please excuse my writing. Hope you receive this by Saturday.

With love and best wishes.

In haste) I am, As ever, Mother.

Hello Frank –

I wish to thank you for the 2 or 3 letters I have received from you.

I meant to write you about that religion book. Martin sent it to me some time ago. I thought you would be interested in it and glad if you like it.

I hope you and the family will come to Omaha and Lincoln for the holidays. Would you plan now so that as soon as school vacation starts you all can be ready to leave? I would like for Martin to come also.

Hope you read the enclosed clipping very carefully. Thank you.

Best wishes,
Mrs. Ruth Jensen

Dear Marie –

I was glad that you were at home last Sunday afternoon. Thank you for paying for the telephone call. I sent the package to you last Monday afternoon. I wrote on package – please deliver Saturday., Oct. 24th, 1964. Now in case they don’t deliver on Saturday you had better call for it as soon as you possibly can. Now the big card over the envelope can be opened up and pictures can be placed in-side. Also I put a card with Becky’s gift for the baby and hope that you and she finds the little greeting card.

Now about the material I am sending for the dicky. Would you please press it out before taking it to the dress-maker? Thank you. As near as I could I cut out the pattern for the dicky. I was thinking the collar I enclosed would be about right. Now about the cuffs that could be cut out last with what material is left. Let me know how much the dress-maker charges please and again thank you.

Marie I surely hope you are planning to come at Christmas time. When you let me know I could send you $10.00 to help pay expenses. I think Lottie and Jackie plan to visit you next summer so you can’t very well come next summer.

Please read over the clipping I am enclosing carefully.

I will call you over the telephone before very long.

With love and best wishes,
Mother

I copied the above from the Oakland paper. Perhaps you could look up La Vern – she was younger than Elizabeth. Then if you do see La Vern ask her about Elizabeth and let me know.
