Letter from Sidney Jennings Legendre, March 5, 1945
Date:
1945
Creator (Personal):
Legendre, Sidney Jennings, 1903-1948
Description:
Letter from Sidney Legendre to his wife, Gertrude Legendre, describing a day he spent driving a tank with friends, swimming at the Outrigger beach club, and a show put on by the best swimmers and divers in the United States that had been recruited into the military. Sidney continues in his letter to ask her about a girl they had met previously in New York that he had recently become reacquainted with in Hawaii. 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.
