The undated letter, "Sunday," concerns the visit of Chabot's half brother to see Olive, which occurred in November 1969. Three letters and a telegram written in January 1977 from Yost to Chabot. The first letter is written by Yost in Mexico City to Chabot in Puerto Escondido. Yost has just left Puerto Escondido and is attending to financial affairs for Chabot in Mexico City. The telegram and second letter are from Yost in Albuquerque to Chabot in Puerto Escondido and tell of various spiritual and alternative healing methods Yost uses to try to cure her cancer.
