(1) Nina Warren [wife of Governor Earl Warren] to Lee T. Bashore, March 14, 1944, Executive Mansion, Sacramento, California.
Dear Mr. Bashore:
I wish I could express the appreciation of all the Warrens for the box of delicious oranges we received from you yesterday. The children enjoy them so much in their lunches every day. It is certainly a treat for them to get a juicy sweet orange. Those we buy are so woody and tasteless. Needless to say, Earl gets his share of them, too, and he will no doubt write and thenk you personally one of these days.
We have been experiencing the coldest and most [p.2] disagreeable wind-storm. The camillias were so beautiful on our trees at the Mansion, but after two days of this cold wind, they are a sad sight.
Earl joins me in sending our warmest regards to you and Mrs. Bashore, and again--many thanks for your kindness.
Cordially,
Nina Warren

(3) Glenn Bashore to Hazel Roberts, September 30, 1944.
Dear Aunt Hazel,
I just finished the hardest letter of my life, to mother. Received the letter from the Red Cross yesterday which was a great shock to me. As I told mother though the way I felt about it we all have to go sometime or another & there must have been a better place created for daddy some where beyond. Naturally I felt hurt over the loss, but more than that I feel the pity for my [p.2] mother, Jr. & the rest of the people that loved him so dearly.
Because you are the closest and dearest relative I have outside my family I would like to ask a favor of you. If at all possible I would like to know if mother will be fixed well enough from the money left & the insurance if any. I wish you would convey to her <when she feels better> that I have applied for an allo[t]ment through the government to support her, I think it [p.3] amounts to fifty dollars a month, besides that the forty dollars saving allotment I now have coming shall be hers. The money I have in saving is to be used & even the war bonds to be cashed if necessary. I am enclose one hundred & fifty dollar money order in your name to be used to make my mother as comfortable as possible. I'll appreciate no end & will be indebted to you forever if you will do this for me.
I'm sorry I won't be [p.4] able to write anymore now.
Please take good care of mother, sorry but it looks impossible for me to get home.
Thanks a lot.
Love,
Bud
Glenn Bashore, PhM2C
