Letter from Harry E. Jones, 1945

 

05/04/1945

Jones, Harry E.

 

Jones thanks John and Jane Adams for their letters, and comments on the nature of correspondence. He reviews books and an article by S. J. Perelman in the December 16, 1944 issue of the New Yorker, "Farewell, My Lovely Appetizer." Soldiers are "sweating out" (anxious about) whether they will join the war in the Pacific while they seldom have electricity for jazz on the radio.
