Contact seller5-star sellerThe content is politically oriented and tongue-in-cheek. The letters were addressed to Miss Eleanor Langlois of Guernewood Park, CA from J. E. Langlois and Oscar Smith, both of San Francisco. J.E. is Eleanor's father. The letters are dated August 13-20, 1945. August 14, is labeled V-J Day when Japan surrendered after WWII. The l…etters mention riots in San Francisco, food rationing, and refers to their dog Geep. The letter writer mentions his tiring of meat loaf and his excitement to get eggs and lists the many ways he would like to cook them. He questions of they have gotten sugar yet. He is on edge and mentions how he jumps when ever he hears a noise. He has a sarcastic air and references times significant to the time such as Aunt Jemima's pancake mix and Seely mattresses.
