Book 1 – Letter 50 Received November 5, 1942 from Jean
Book 1 – Letter 24 Received June 29, 1942 from Jean Worts
Another letter finally arrives from England. It was opened by a censor and she talks of wartime rations. It makes me realize how much we take for granted today.
Book 1 – Letter 2 Received February 9, 1942 from “Jay”
The next letter finally arrives February 9th from Jay. As you can see it was post marked January 15th and shows the censor marking “Released by I.C.B. 129” This was the Information Control Branch, an American agency.
Jay makes reference to she and her sisters not being able to go to school after the attack on Pearl Harbor. There is no doubt that this tragedy affected everyone.
Next letter will arrive March 18th from a new pal.
