I just found the letters

I never knew my grandpa, really. I was 5 when he passed and lived 3000 miles away. May have met him 5 times total.

I have forgotten whether you are a newspaper reader or not. If not you may have missed learning that Lindbergh's son was kidnapped last Tuesday, a heinous crime. The child's picture has been posted in the papers here in the East and is a very handsome tot.

those possessing thought and dignity with a real contribution to offer are drowned by the clamor. It is absolutely the damnedest and most revolting situation one could dream of. Far over 99% of the books now being published should be burned by government edict.
