April 9 1944 From Omie


 
                                        April 9
Dear Jack--
    Hope you got your money OK--Chick was busy painting the kitchen on Sunday so he didn't get into town.
    Finny has decided to come home on Thursday.  I hope the Dr. knows what he is doing letting him come home.  And I sure hope he improves, or we will all be nuts.
    If you get a chance to call Grandma before you got out--you better call. And don't fail to write often as you know we will worry.  How will your mail get to you the fastest?---airmal?
    I had a letter from don on Sat.--everything seems the same--but I think he is getting tired.  He will probably be more tired when the monsoons hit. 
    Bob worked on sat up at Glasses plant-but he says eh doesn't think he wants to work up there all summer as it is too dusty.  Chick says that isn't a very healthy atmosphere & wants him to go out to the Field Club again.  He is supposed to be cutting the lawn now--but I think he ducked & is playing ball--
    We haven't anything planted in the garden yet--but it is warming up again so I guess we will get started.
    Keep yourself well-while you are away-honey & be patient as you know nothing lasts forever & Pray God this will soon be over.
                        Love-Omie
Wheres my souvenir?

Introduction      When my Mom died I took Dad's uniform and the duffel bag with it to our house.  Dad saved his letters in a jumbled mess in his duffel bag.  I knew he had saved them and I knew that someday I would read them and do exactly this with them. Until this year, they have traveled with us and lived in the duffel bag.  This Covid-19 in house for our safety gave me the incentive to finally get them out and organize them.  When I talk about the number of letters he received remember that it is the ones I found in the duffel bag.  More could have arrived and were not put in the duffel bag.  I suspect that letters from before the Southerland were mostly not included.         I found Dad's letters to be difficult to organize and to decide what to type in.  I decided to organize by year and type in some letters and skip others.  The ones I am skipping contain almost exclusively who is doing what regarding...

July 26-45 Dear Jack:     I received the ins certificate you took out.  I do hope you will soon have the Japs whipped and that you will be able to take a rest.  We know you are in the fighting and I listen to all the news broadcasts thinking I will hear they have surrendered.  We are having some awfully hot weather here.  It rained last night and cooled it off a little.  Finny has not heard of a job yet.  I hope he soon gets one. Judy is just the same.  She is not feeling very well.  David is full of poison ivy.  N. Kensington playing bingo and as usual your grand mother Reitz was game. Bill is in the Aspinwall Hospital.  Nothing too serious.  I  guess there is no news from around here.  Hoping this finds you well and write when you can.                         Love Grandma
