Notes
Excerpted from my mother's letter to my father dated 27 October 1943: "We got a letter from Aunt Florrie today, and also one from Horace, John's brother. He sent us two pictures -- one of himself and his wife, and the other of his wife and another girl . . . He is a nice looking fellow and wrote a good letter."
