Note to Nora Roberson from D. W. Herring
(C. Avis Catalog entry #743)
(Document ID #387c)

[D. W. Herring was a son of John Henry Herring by his first wife, Julia Williams.  Therefore, a half-brother of Nora Herring Roberson]

At our age we take far more  pleasure in the future of our children than our own. And Dear Nora, I am  so very,very glad that yours are a credit to you and to all  of us.
There is no family on earth, I would rather visit and see all of than yours, but I suppose that pleasure is to be forever denied me.
Remember that you are the oldest female representative of our Herring blood, and my only sister. God Bless You.  I told my wife the other day that if I had been raised with a good sister or mother, I think I would have been a better man.  My mother died when I was a small child. Would like to hear of your mother and how she is getting along, and where she lives.  Never was with her much.

Affectionately Your brother Dick.
