A cleverly done piece of correspondence comes from Lenore in the form of a telegram. It looks like she typed her note, cut it apart and glued it to a standard telegram form. A lot more work than a real telegram or letter.
Month: September 2015
Book 1 – Letter 42 Received September 23, 1942 from Josephine
A funny little postcard from Josephine. It must have been difficult for this young girl to move across the country to a new city.
Book 1 – Letter 41 Received September 23, 1942 from Lois Jean
A new letter from Lois telling of school schedule, football and knitted sweaters. Oh yes fall is in the air.
Book 1 – Letter 40 Received September 18, 1942 from Mary
The next letter from Mary arrives. She writes about salmon fishing. You get the feeling that this family is very self-sufficient and they always work together to make sure there is food on the table and a little extra to sell or share.
Book 1 – Letter 39 Received September 17, 1942 from Jean
Another letter from England arrives. Jean mentions the passing of the Duke of Kent. According to articles written over the years there is much speculation and mystery surrounding his death. According to Wikipedia: Prince George, Duke of Kent (George Edward Alexander Edmund; 20 December 1902 – 25 August 1942) was a member of the British Royal Family, the fourth son and fifth child of King George V and Queen Mary, and younger brother of Kings Edward VIII and George VI. He held the title of Duke of Kent from 1934 until his death in a military air-crash on 25 August 1942.
Book 1 – Letter 38 Received September 12, 1942 from Josephine
The next letter is again from Josephine. It appears that they are moving to Philadelphia and “motoring” across the country at 40 mph. I am presuming that they are on Route 66. I wonder what the souvenir was that was sent? Maybe the postcard? It was sent separately but arrived on the same day.
