Grasping Reality on TypePad, by Brad DeLong

Letter: Clementine Churchill to W. Averell Harriman:

My dear Averell

I do think it is sweet of you in the midst of all our work & pre-occupations to have bought those exquisite handkerchiefs for me. I'm delighted & truly grateful as I was "running short" & one hates to spare precious coupons on handkerchiefs - I don't know why - ? perhaps because they are so easily lost.

And the Ham! The glorious ham! Words fail me.

Love from

Yours ever

Clementine S. C.
