Letter from Harry E. Jones, 1945

 

03/08/1945

Jones, Harry E.

 

Jones writes about his experiences in France, particularly his attempts to speak the language. He says he missed seeing Robeson's Othello but is glad Jane Adams enjoyed it, and he comments on John Adams' recent work. In his postscript, Jones requests a package: "Food is best and sweets the best of foods." The envelope is an air-mail commemorative and bears a censor's stamp.

European theater of operations; ETO; United States Army; 355th Infantry Regiment; War damage; The Tempest (play); Margaret Webster; Othello (play); John Gielgud; Hamlet (play); Paul Robeson; Henry James; Satella Jacques Penman; John Adams; Military censorship
