LETTER

3196 State Capitol, Sacramento 14, California
Arthur A. Ohnimus, Chief Clerk

March 30, 1954

Mrs. Ruby Sharmer
Planada,
California

Dear Mrs. Sharmer:

Today by insured parcel post we are mailing to you an illuminated copy of House Resolution No. 22, relative to the passing of Joseph Sharmer.

This resolution was introduced by Assemblyman George A. Clarke, and unanimously adopted by the Assembly on March 15th of this year. This resolution, conveying the sympathies of the members of the Assembly to you in the passing of Mr. Sharmer, will be, I am sure, one of your prized keepsakes.

Yours very truly,

ARTHUR A. OHNIMUS

AAO/lt


Notes & context

Sixteen years after Joe’s air-mail letters reached “Miss Ruby E. Wilson” in Planada, this letter reached “Mrs. Ruby Sharmer” in the same town. She kept the resolution, as Mr. Ohnimus expected she would.
