Sylvia seems to be better. Her cough is not as bad. She calls me Izzie Pizzie. Eugene writes down the names of all the state licenses on automobiles he sees. Mrs. Kreisler came in with Christmas presents for Lillian and the kids. We got a record for Robert. Milton came home this morning after more than three years in the Army. He called up here and it was great to hear his voice again. Lillian and Eugene went over to see him. It has been announced from Moscow that peace treaties will be drawn up for the defeated nations by the countries that signed the armistice terms except that France will participate in the case of Italy. The treaties will be drawn not later than May 1. Gen. Marshall, arrived in China is conferring with both sides. Pres. Truman has asked that refugees from Central Europe be allowed in our country up to the quota limits. Lillian saw State Fair with Jeanne Crain and Dana Andrews. She read All This and Heaven Too by Rachel Field and Mother by Pearl Buck - both good stories. Archbishop Spellman and 31 others have been named Cardinals by the Pope. A Smolensk trial has condemned a group of Nazis.
I'm sure it's not coincidental that this is his first long diary entry in a while; as a Post Office clerk, the weeks leading up to Christmas were very busy, with lots of overtime.
My father started a "diary" in 1945 (more accurately, a journal, covering both family and current events), and I'm going to see if this is a decent way to publish it. Since I'm doing it as a blog, to get to the beginning of the journal, you have to go to the beginning of the blog.
