LETTER #68 - 2 MAR 1945




































My Little Notes:  It appears that his mom typed her letter to him.....with mistakes!  He seems to be quite determined to get a bracelet!  He talks about his father's birthday.  This letter was written in March and his father's birthday was actually February 17, so he must be responding to a previous letter to this  Also, he mentions Long Lake.  Long Lake is about 55 miles north of Chicago.  They will eventually buy a summer home there.  This summer home will also be my home and where I will grow up....


My grandparents' typewriter ~ Underwood #5.  This was probably the one she was using to type her letters.

VINTAGE LONG LAKE POSTCARDS:  These postcards were my grandparents probably dated around 1930s.


This is in the subdivision that my grandparents bought their summer home (my future home).




Photo taken by my grandparents of Long Lake, Il in the subdivision where their summer home was.  Probably late 1930s/early 1940s.
