Description
Letters written by Beth Puckett to her husband Lewis Puckett who was serving in the US Navy in the Pacific Theatre. The letters include several expressions of affection, loneliness, and longing. Other topics include their daughter Sherry's eighth birthday, conversations with friends, updates on the children's behavior, exhaustion, the weather, a military joke from Reader's Digest, political news, their relationship history, trust, a request for a snapshot portrait, travel arrangements, observations from people-watching on a trip to Daytona Beach, the tempting possibility of leaving the children with her mother and working in Florida at a hospital for the duration of the war, and the frustrating inconsistency of mail delivery. Also included is a clipping of a poem for the war wife.
