Letter from H. Orville Nordberg, 1943

Nordberg, H. Orville

 

"Life and its torpid twin, existence, somehow continue on this coral isle of sighs," Nordberg writes. He describes his life on an island he cannot disclose for military reasons, and says he has been "busy." He speculates about the treatment of the "war effort" by the press, claiming that "the alleged home front has been the most badly handled."
