Letter from Cardie Saunders to sister Helen in 1940. AM

A very touching letter from Uncle Cardie to mom right after Denny was born. He writes “in my estimation no brother ever had such a sister. She is the personification of all that is sweet and good”.  I noticed he referred to mom as Onnie which was her family nickname when she was young.
