In this letter from July 23, 1971, Sarah writes from San Antonio with updates on baby shopping, Dairy Queen cravings, and an orange sherbet cocktail recipe worth stealing. But under all the activity, there’s a deeper undercurrent of tension with her mother-in-law, loneliness without her husband, and a quiet determination to carve out some joy while he’s away. As their one-year anniversary nears and R&R grows closer, Sarah’s love comes through in the smallest details — from purses and pant suits to heartfelt promises sealed in red, white, and blue.
