RE: The Letters of Henry (Indiana) Jones, Junior
Dear Mr. Abernathy,
My father encouraged me to organize and publish my grandfather’s letters. I was hesitant at first. How interesting would they be to anyone but those of us who were his family members?
Then my father gave me the boxes. He had gathered many of Grandfather’s letters from the people who he’d written and had matched them already with date and such so they were all grouped by date and recipient/writer.
“Have you read them all?” I asked him after I looked into the boxes.
“Not all but most of them. They date back to his trip to Africa when he was about nine or ten years old. His diaries are there too. I had no idea he’d done so many things but then I didn’t know he was my father until I was in my late teens.”
“What kind of man was Grandfather when he was young?”
My father smiled and looked a lot like photos I’d seen of my grandfather when he was middle aged. “That, my dear Henrietta, you’ll have to find out for yourself.”
So I did. I began to read and catalog Indiana Jones’ letters and diaries. Grandfather led a life of high adventure, nothing like the retired college professor that I remember telling us what we thought were made up stories about the big events of the 20th century. It was not until I read through all these letters that I realized that, even though Grandfather might have fudged a bit here and there about some things, his stories were true.
So for the next few weeks, I will send you a sampling of what I’ve found in no particular order and you can decide what is to be done with them. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
