Doing Their Best
Dear Aunt Daisy, Very many thanks for sending me the directions for the Seamen’s Oversocks. I hope to make some and send them to the Navy League. What wonderful work (continued on next page)
(continued from previous page) the airmen and seamen are doing. One wonders what is in front of us; and what a blessing we women can feel we are helping by knitting comforts for these brave men. Do you ever think of the thousands of prayers offered up while we are knitting kind thoughts into the
socks, mittens, efc.? Every woman feels she wants to help, but there seems so little a backblock woman can do except knit-and help as much as one can on the farm, for my son has been in the Territorials for some years, and goes into camp next month. We are an old couple, but doing our best. I pray it will not
be a long war.
-‘Near Waitotara."
