Mother's Surveillance Letter


This is a most interesting item.  First you see a stamped envelop with Mother's address on it and the return address is Dad's.  Under the envelop is a letter from my Aunt Olga to me.  (For some reason we never called her "aunt."  It was just Olga.)  It was a very simple letter, How are you?  etc.  Under that letter was a letter to her from my Mother.  Now, Mother did not like Olga very much.  I think she sent the letter to Olga because she did not know Dad's address.  What she was asking of Olga was to certify that she had been under surveillance for four years.  This was part of her paranoia. (Don't know how to speall that.)  The third page on this posting is what she asked Olga and Dad to fill out, have notarized and sent back to her.  This was probably during the time she was either under a conservator or it was being considered for her.  She wanted to prove that she actually was under surveillance and she was not "crazy."  Sometimes when I think of her I get very sad.
