"Aunt
Frances thinks it possible that Dale might be home in a few months. Surely hope so. He has had a rough deal for a long time.
"Wish
the wars in the Pacific would soon be over but as hard as it seems for them to
make any headway, it may be a long time yet."

Letter from my grandmother, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Boulder, Colo.,
Sunday, May 20, 1945. Dale was my father's cousin. In May 1945,
Allied forces were fighting the Japanese for control of Okinawa, 340 miles from
the main Japanese islands.
