A Collection of Letters and Sketches

August 20, 2018

Categories: The Archive Collection

With a 60 year ministry comes historic and memorable artifacts. For the remainder of this year, we are featuring a monthly collection of artifacts from our archives. This month we are featuring multiple items that give a little glimpse into the love Billy and Ruth had for each other.

Postcard from Billy to Ruth

Billy Graham sent Ruth Bell Graham this postcard during travel to Newfoundland in 1946. The postcard reads: “My Darling, You are constantly on my mind… We were forced down here last night… Snowing – but a lonely place. Chuck is sick with flu. Hope to be in England tonight… I’m feeling fine… Lots of rest… Had a Y.F.C. here last night with 250 present… Love Bill”
