Letter from my dad to his dad.Elkhorn, W.Va.
March 29, 1945
Dear Daddy,
Well got your and what a swell letter so I answer it.
First I say Elkhorn lost the basketball tournament. Fifth grade has
got a baseball team. We played. Kyle and (?) then by 14 to 12. We
played 6 grade Crozer team and they beat us by 58 to 3. What a
shame. Then we played them again and beat us again by 70 to 3.
They beat us again. We have beat 1 game lost 4 or 5. Mary
and me went to the storelot and this is what happened
Explanation of the game!
Well this coming Sunday Easter and I will have a picture
made in my new Easter suit and send it to you. Do this to a German
for me
No explanation needed. Scanned from
letter.
Margaret is doing her science. Paul
is playing trumpet. Teddy is just sitting waiting to write a
postcard to you. Ronald is writing a letter to Dad. Grandma is
washing dishes. Grandpa is gone to work. I got a Dick Tracy hat for
Easter a Easter basket. I went to Bluefield on a Thursday and got my
Easter suit and saw Aunt Pearl at the bus terminal. Can't think of
anything else to say but take good care of yourself. Don't forget to
get that German for me.
Love,
Ronald
