Kentland Oct. 24
David –
Thanks for your letters & contents. I started to write some letters yesterday & my typewriter stopped so now Boyd Neher had it for repair & I will have to wait till he returns it. I can’t hold a pen long. Your mother & Becky were in to see me this a.m. They are going to Chicago Sunday. Nobody talks or thinks of anything except “The Crisis.” Will write
Grandma

It’s hard to remember just how tense that time was, i.e., the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was pretty grim.
