- Containers:
- 18.0031 - Box 2, Folder 002
- Scope and content:
This folder contains letters written by Albert Garretson to his wife while he is working for SHAEF in France and London. He is anxious to leave France but his departure for London is repeatedly delayed. He expresses his regret at being unable to be with Agnes while she gives birth. A cable on January 31 announces the birth of Deborah Peters Garretson. Albert uses his vacation time in France to visit Rouen and Versailles. By February he is back in London and hopes to be returning to the United States by the end of the month. He is "wanted" back in Versailles and also "wanted" in London, but he is pressing for his superior in Washington D.C. to request that he return. His wish is granted, and he returns to the United States on May 1. The final letter in the folder includes a copy of the program for Franklin D. Roosevelt's funeral in St. Paul's Cathedral.
