Tue, Jul 21, 1942: quiet and lonesome

“Woodrow came after Carol & Philip Sun. evening.  It seems rather quiet and lonesome since they left. Up until he came both the children said they were going to stay here but after he came they decided to go home.”
-- Letter from my grandmother, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Salina, Kans., Tuesday, July 21, 1942.  Woodrow was my grandmother’s brother.  His young children (ages and 4) had been staying with my grandparents, while he and his wife were separated.
