Edna M. Smith to Lucille Ley - December 14, 1944
-
Description
-
Edna expresses disappointment that her son is not in the photo Lucille sent. She says she has heard from all the other next-of-kin except one. She muses on the little information she knows about her son's military service and comments that she still has not received any off his personal effects. She wonders whether Lucille has ever been asked to settle Jimmy's estate, a process which she calls "red tape." She doubts whether George is actually dead without proof. The mothers swap photographs of their sons.
