1950 - 1960: New York City and Houston
Most of the time apart happens when Ruth visits her daughters. There is a set of letters from when she visits Betty in Ohio, and another one when she visits Mary Caroline in Utah. While Ruth is in Utah, Dr. Jim visits Tom in NYC as Jim is looking for a place to set up his medical practice. Tom refers to young Jimbo's features courtesy of Walker family genes.
