Mom's Thanksgiving 1942
By LA-jan - November 29, 2012
It was all talk about their Marines!
. . . and not much else of Thanksgiving.
And she mentions work.
I found a letter she had written, a draft, that was never sent.
It is to Klyne (yes, Katie, you are right). I
was also anxious to find out how she to writes
to him after his very "excited" letters we've seen.
She talks about work in this one.
I found it interesting. Earlier in the year, she speaks
about how challenging work is and school before that.
Now, she is more adept and well. . . read on:
I guess she can feel a little more confident since jobs are so easy to get!
Her letters are so light, so friendly, and no sense of the romance in return.
Like she always said, "there was no hanky panky!"
