Her Mother Had Written to Ask For Assistance
The letter was from her mother, who told her daughter that she had a twelve-year-old sister named Norma Jeane. Along with this information, Gladys included an address where she could write to her sister. At the time of writing this letter to her daughter, Gladys had been hospitalized for about six years and wasn’t the current care-giver of her daughter Norma Jeane, who at the time was living with a family friend. This letter answered so many questions for Berniece, who immediately set out to make her first contact with her sister.
