Dear Nannie,
Your beautiful watch came today and I am just overcome! It’s almost too good! I really love it, Nannie. I don’t know how to tell you. It’s just perfect! Bill Stringer heard of the make when he was abroad and he said it was a very good make. I don’t keep up with swiss makes, but I sure can believe that. I can hardly wait to wear it to school Monday. Lots of the girls already have their watches and they’ll love mine, as I do.
The ham is wonderful. How can you be so good to us? The outside of it tasted just like smoked ham and the inside tastes like fresh pork now. All of it is swell. The eggs are good, too. I hardly ever eat eggs for breakfast, but I’m cook for Daddy’s breakfast this week.
I’ve been in the air 1½ hours now and its about the biggest thrill I’ve ever head! Flying is simply wonderful. My aviation teacher is a wonderful pilot and very progressive.
She wants to see aviation advance by leaps and bounds after the war and I think she will. I want to learn to fly this summer.
I had my calling cards engraved, but they haven’t arrived yet. I’ll send you a graduation announcement when they come. Graduating is fun and my new watch is super!
Love,
Sibyl
