Tuesday.
Your dear letters cetainly make me very happy. They are the bright spots in my life over here. Don’t think that I am blue and depressed. I might be if I did have you and the boys to look forward to—and I have confidence in the outcome of this world conflict. My faith is centered in the judgment and good sense of WW so I am not worrying over the ultimate outcome.
You are the finest and bravest little girl, I think, in the world. No soldier had better nerve or was more brave than you have been through all you gone through have had to encounter alone.
You are a perfect heroine and my ideal example of a grand and brave woman. Miss Edith is fine but you are finer and braver. The President is not doing very well physically these days; but I hope to have him in better condition by the end of the week. So much is dependent upon a “sound mind in a sound body” these days, that it is a “ground hog case” of keeping him well—he must keep well.
This is a difficult week over here. Don’t know when we will be home—about the is my guess now.
