Description:

Letter from Sidney Legendre to his wife, Gertrude Legendre, describing Landine’s new love of ice skating, lamenting her imprisonment in Europe, and reporting that the price of hot dogs is on the rise. Sidney continues in his letter to recount a few stories he read in Time magazine, lamenting the passage of time, and relaying a conversation he had with his commanding officer about their lives after the war. This letter was written to Gertrude when she was a prisoner of war in Europe and was likely to have been received in the package that was given to her upon her escape and return to the continental United States.
