Hattie Big Sky (2007)
“Whiskers sends his greetings. You might not recognize him, he’s gotten so full of mice and who knows what all else. He’s still not warmed up to Chase but lets Mattie fuss and pet at him to no end. One day she even dressed him in one of Mulie’s bonnets! That little girl could sweet-talk anyone into doing anything.
And now you are an engine fitter. How exciting to work with aeroplanes. Mind the propellers!
Have you heard about the Daylight Saving Time plan? It seems so odd to begin it on Easter S...unday. President Wilson says it will save millions of tons of coal and thus help the war effort. When I think of you bunking in leaky barracks, and all of the other sacrifices you and the other doughboys are making, such a change seems a small thing.
I have puzzled out what the stars mean that you put in the margins of each letter. Each one is a sad accounting. I weep to think of each mother who stitches a gold star on her service flag to signify her son’s ultimate sacrifice.
I pray every night for an end to this war.MoreLess
