Lenore sends news from Akron, Ohio.
Month: January 2016
Book 1 – Letter 71 Received January 21, 1943 from Leny
A letter arrives from Iowa, I finally see the name on the back of the envelope and can now clearly read that her name is L-E-N-Y. I looked her up and found this really great article about her. As you can see from this and the attached letter her work of connecting pen-pals benefitted many. I suppose she had no idea that her letters would still be around today.

Letter arrives from Mary. It seems that rationing does not have much of an impact on them since they have their own supply at the farm. Interesting that news of a flood in Kenton Ohio was heard on the radio news in Washington.
