2024.1.20Description
In this very poignant letter dated 02/08/1944, Walter cannot help but express his frustation that patriotism is abating as people have grown weary of the war, rationing, family separation, etc. He expresses ideas about democracy, the US founding fathers, and the state of the nation and world. The tone changes at the end, hoping that Alfred returns soon and mentioning the wonderful things that await him.Collection
