"We
are eagerly looking forward to your coming home. I would give my bottom dollar to be at your
graduation exercises but transportation being like it is I might not get
there. I have heard of several cases
where people had to be put off at out of the way places and wait for a few days
before the train could take them on again.
Anyhow I want you to accept our congratulations and I am enclosing a $10
bill as a graduation gift."

Letter from my grandmother, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Notre Dame,
Ind.,October 22, 1944. My father was set
to graduate from midshipmen's school and to be commissioned as an officer.
