Birthday wishes arrive from Lois Jean. Card was made in US with mark GB which I believe stands for Golden Bell.
Book 1 – Letter 67 Received January 14, 1943 from Josephine
A letter from Josephine and early Birthday wishes for Patricia.
Book 1 – Letter 66 Received January 7, 1943 from Mary
Letter arrives from Mary. It seems that rationing does not have much of an impact on them since they have their own supply at the farm. Interesting that news of a flood in Kenton Ohio was heard on the radio news in Washington.
Book 1 – Letter 65 Received January 4, 1943 from Miriam
Another letter also arrives on the 4th. It seems that Miriam has left school and taken a job in a flashlight factory.

The first letter of the new year 1943 arrives from England, sent a month earlier.
Book 1 – Letter 63 Received December 31, 1942 from Lois Jean
Interesting that Lois Jean worked for 5 days and made just over $8, that combined with her Christmas money $4.25 she will get a jacket.
Book 1 – Letter 62 Received December 30, 1942 from Lenore
A detailed list of the gifts received for Christmas. Hard to imagine that all the stores were closed “downtown” the day after Christmas.
Book 1 – Letter 61 Received December 30, 1942 from Jean
Interesting to see all the stamps and hands that this Christmas greeting passed through to get from England to Ohio.
Book 1 – Letter 60 Received December 21 1942 from Levy
A nice Currier and Ives Christmas card arrives from Rock Valley, Iowa. Not sure of the name if it is Levy or Leny.
