AI Notes
Second sheet of the April 5, 1933 letter (pages 094–096), numbered ‘2’ in the upper left corner. The writer (‘Mother’ = Mary Anne Perry FitzSimons, the elder ‘Minnie’) explains the enclosed signed blank check (the Carolina Savings Bank check on page 090): if she dies or again becomes incapacitated, her daughter Amy is to use the check to draw out the bank balance and pay Theodore — her son Theodore Barker FitzSimons (1890–1943), Amy’s brother, the AEF veteran — eighty dollars a month (as named on page 096). The April 1933 cluster (pp 089/090/094/095/096) constitutes the writer’s near-last surviving correspondence; she died in January 1934.
