This charming letter from Dot was written on a perfect Sunday afternoon. She had just spent some time sunbathing and was now listening to a wonderful youth concert by the (New York?) Philharmonic.

She writes that she used to think Sundays were about the most dull and boring day of the week. Now, she says, she lives for them. She realizes on such a perfect spring day that Greenwich is the most beautiful town she’s ever seen. Still, she prefers Ohio.

She told Dart of a special program at church this morning, featuring the children of the congregation. She was particularly enthralled with her delightful niece Toni Gale. She’s quite enchanted by that little girl.

Dot took a break from letter-writing to go to a movie with her sister-in-law, Betty. She’s taking every opportunity to get to know her better since Dot has been living in Ohio during her brother’s courtship and brief marriage. They saw a film called “Memphis Belle” which sounds like a documentary about the crew of a United States bomber. It made Dot grateful that Dart will not have to face 25 bombing raids over Germany before he can come home. She knows he wants to get out of the hospital, but she’s reminded that there are worse places he could be.

She continues to hope and pray for his return to health and says she knows neither of them will give up hoping. “In case you didn’t know, I’m crazy about you and would like to see you soon to be able to prove it.”

Immediately after that statement, she wrote the only sentence on page four. “I don’t know why I started this page because there’s nothing left to say.” Yup. I’m quite sure Dart would agree.
