A letter finally arrives from Hawaii. It seems that working for the war effort takes priority over going to school.
Pearl Harbor
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.
December 1941
Book 1 – Letter 1 Received December 15, 1941 from “Jay”
Jay writes from Honolulu Hawaii and the letter is postmarked December 4th, 1941. Just 3 days later on the morning of December 7 the Japanese attacks Pearl Harbor. The attack led to the United States’ entry into World War II. The next letter from Hawaii does not arrive until February 9th, 1942.
