Post #235 - May 30, 31, 1943 For a Wedding Gift, Goldie’s Father will Furnish Their Entire Home and I’ll Only Be Able to Stay a Few Hours, Sweet

 

There is a several-months gap between the above letter (#235) and the next one (#236). The missing dates are from May 31 (above) to October 8. So far, in going through the letters, I have found one that was misfiled and it occurs during the gap. I had assumed that Philip and Evelyn were together during these months, before he was shipped over to England and therefore didn’t write, but apparently, I was mistaken. I am updating this post on June 29, 2021. Below is the misfiled letter:

In researching the GNM to which my mother refers, I believe it was an English newspaper called “The Guardian” which uses this acronym to this day.
