It was a cold day in the Hamptons. It had been snowing for about three days now. It had been a very heavy snow. So heavy that school had been canceled and many people didn't have to work.
We were all in our warmest flannel pajamas and Mother was making some nice warm hot chocolate. Logs were crackling in the fireplace and the smell of fresh pine burning filled the room.
All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. The housekeeper, Annie, ran down the stairs and opened the door.
"I have a letter for Mrs. Bradshaw" said Mr. Clark, the mailman.
"Thank you" she replied.
"My pleasure Ms. Annie"
We all knew that it had to be something important. It was snowing too hard for it not to be.
Mother walked in the family room where my sisters Caroline, Sarah, Emily, and I, were watching our brand new twelve inch, black and white T.V.
"What is it, Annie" Mother asked.
"I don't know, Mrs. Bradshaw" she replied. "But I think it may be something regarding the war."
"Well let's open it up and read it" said Mother.
