Sun, Sep 12, 1943: in demand



"Suppose you sailors will be in demand now with the girls enrolling in school with such a small percentage of boys.
"The surrender of Italy looks good but I'm afraid there will be tough going as the Allies try to approach toward Germany.  But when the day comes (as it looks now it is bound to come) that Germany will have to give up it will be a happy day for all of us.  The sooner the better."
-- Letter from my grandmother, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Cape Girardeau, Mo., Sunday, September 12, 1943.  On September 8, Italy had surrendered to the Allies.
