THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 9, 1945 ARCHIVES "NATIONAL AMD RECORDS SERVICE" Dear Aunt Ella: I certainly did appreciate the handker- chief which you sent me for my birthday. I really did have some birthday consider- ing the cessation of hostilities in Europe, and the fact that everybody I know seemed to want to make me have a good day yesterday. You had a birthday yourself the day before and I did not even write you a letter. I am sorry that I did not do it. Give my best to the girls. Sincerely yours, Mrs. Joseph T. Noland 216 North Delaware Street Independence, Missouri
