Description
In this heartfelt letter, Glenn writes to his family on a Friday evening, sharing that he has just finished a long day of kitchen patrol duty, starting at 3:30 AM. He compares the chaos to working at Koorman’s Store and mentions the scale of feeding 6,000 men. Glenn recounts receiving a letter and call from Mary Stuart, expressing regret that he can’t visit her before his Monday departure aboard the Republic. He also received an anonymous letter with a dollar and a blessing, likely from someone at the National Defenders Club. Glenn reassures his family not to worry and promises to write again soon.
