  Notes	From Kathy A. Ruel, correspondent.      The following is a letter written to Amy Abby Allen on February 24, 1975 by Stella: Dear Amy,      So sorry you have been ill,  It would be wonderful to step in to have a chat with you.  I am expecting another grandchild at any hour. It is long overdue.  I dare not leave home for very long.   She has 3 other little ones and I seem to be the Chief one to take over when she is finally rushed to the hospital.  She has a grand husband (with restricted hours!)  How very many times Ma use to speak about you. You were her favorite niece, I am sure.  The world seems to be filled with her namesakes.  she herself, was named after her grandmother, Amy Sprague Clark.  I have her picture.  I do believe you look a bit like her.  We are all very fond of Allen.  He is such a darling boy.  I shall never forget how faithful he was to go to see Ma  when she was ill.  Allen is liked by everyone.  He has a really beautiful family too.  Ma always used to brag about how good and how pretty her "little Amy" was.  You have been a wonderful mother and wife...and today a great grandmother!  How time does fly.  Today I am the last one left in the immediate family.  Even the two old houses on Maple Avenue are no more.  Not a trace.  It doesn't seem possible.  I thank God for my own family.  Paulie, my two daughters and (will-be) 4 grandchildren. In going through Ma's treasures, I find occasional photos of you kids.  I want to get them copied off for Allen.  I wish I had that beautiful picture of your mother and another one of Uncle John.  I believe they were wedding pictures.  I think Ma gave Aunt Allies' picture to Hazel many years ago.  Your father was a handsome young fellow and everyone loved him.  He was always so good to Ma's own parents, she always said.  When my little girl, Amy found out years ago that he was uncle only by marriage, she was heartbroken.  I don't want to tie you all out with a long rambling letter.  Maybe we can get together for a bit of a chat.  I am very anxious to hear how you are.  Praying for you always, Love, Stella.
