Episode Description

This episode focuses on the correspondence from an U.S. Army Captain deployed in Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan.

All morning we sat around talking about nothing in particular. And this afternoon I slept until now. It 4:00 P.M. with all this time on my hands.

All day today we stayed in the house and just looked at each other. We did play a fun game of hearts. They are playing hearts right now, only I got out, and I’m going to bed.

Janey I sure wish I could get home before Xmas. There are rumors we may ship in either November or December.

While I'm behind, letters are being posted to Gintherscott.com.

Love Letters ✨💌 From A Creative Chimera ShinYi Tan Hi, my name is XinYi and this is Love Letters from a Creative Chimera: a newsletter & microblog capturing things, people, and ideas that have made me fall absolutely in love with life over and over again. This podcast is the audio companion where I read my letters out loud for those who prefer to listen rather than read. Read the original letters on http://creativechimera.substack.com! Ghosts of Piccadilly, The by G. S. Street (1867 - 1936) LibriVox Nothing spooky or supernatural, but a very personal gathering of gossip, letters, and fragments of biography of famous people who have lived in Piccadilly (in London, England) ... and of some of the buildings, now long gone."If any part of any city deserves a book to itself, it is Piccadilly. We shall stand before some house in the hours when the traffic is stilled, and I shall tell of its history, of the men and women who dwelt there, and talked and loved and gambled and lived and died. I shall follow the lines of my temperament and tastes rather than those of completeness and impartiality: it is likely that I shall be voluble about Byron and reticent about Macaulay."(From the preface) Sincerely, Us The Girls Join the conversation with the Sincerely, Us Podcast where Leslie, Cassy, Sarah, Gelly and Libby (yes, you counted right, five hosts!) chat about topics from listener letters.
