  The Impudent Observer - Global Liberal Issues — Authority: 429

Censored. Dear Ma and Pa, I received your letters today and I was happy to get them. Vince seems to think it’s getting ...

• The life and career of rocker Janis Joplin on what would have been her 69th birthday

  
  Riverside CA Inland Empire Southern California News — Authority: 133
  It’s hard to believe. January 14, 2012 would have been blues/rock singer-songwriter Janis Joplin’s 69th birthday. The video at the right takes a look at the life and career of Janis Joplin, a middle-class white girl who sang the blues. Her music and legacy still inspire people to this day. She was not only one ...

  STL Social Media Guy — Authority: 111
  Babe saw this picture, he writes in this letter. Dated June 24; there is no year and no postmark, but the envelope and the stationery fit the sequence of the letters before and after, so I presume it’s from 1943. Dear Ma and Pa, I got Vince’s letter yesterday and it was good hearing from him. I hope he does ...

  Written on the envelope of this letter. Dated June 19, 1943; no postmark. Dear Folks, I received your letter today and I was certainly glad to hear from you.

• A Quick Letter of Thanks, and a Hint About Long Train Rides

  
  STL Social Media Guy — Authority: 111
  Dated June 18, 1943; I can’t make out the postmark. It is marked “via air mail.” I don’t know why it would have been sent air mail. The back of the envelope is stamped June 18, 1943, indicating it was opened that date (presumably by a U.S. Army examiner). Dear People, It was nice hearing from you. Boy, I ...

  STL Social Media Guy — Authority: 111
  The image on top of the stationery Babe used on this letter. Dated June 1943; no postmark. It is unclear to me where this letter falls in the sequence. He references a card that he sent from Shenango, Penn., but I don’t have that. It’s possible that between his last letter on June 4 and this one that he wrote ...

  STL Social Media Guy — Authority: 111
  I have a letter without an envelope and an envelope without a letter; I’m guessing they’re supposed to be together. The letter is dated “May 1943, Sunday,” and the envelope is postmarked May 4, 1943, from Camp Wheeler. The postmark is two years to the day before Babe was killed. Dear Ma and Pa, Need I say ...
