Hello, Thank you for your wonderful site. I appreciate the photographs of my second cousin, Richard D. Hawkins. I found the attached letter written by my grandmother, Vera Hawkins, to my aunt, Emogene "Suzy" Hawkins Sweeney, in an old bureau in a basement. As all the mentioned people have passed away, I thought it would not be inappropriate to share this letter, especially because it reflects the contemporaneous feelings of a people engaged in a very difficult war, one that touched everybody. Thank you for your efforts to capture this very human history. Very truly yours, Jeffrey Alan Hawkins
