Love Sweetie Podcast - Episode 60: I'll Jump Right Into the Trouble

The Love Sweetie Podcast is a unique historical project that features real letters from Kathryn Frances Demaree Graham a.k.a. "Sweetie" that were written during her lifetime. These authentic letters are narrated and commented on by the hosts of the show (who give context on what is being discussed). The letters, as displayed on the screen, have been transcribed based on the original documents - as such, incorrect spellings, typos (especially as Sweetie writes the majority of her letters using a typewriter), and punctuation and other formatting (the use of caps lock for certain words) are authentic to the documents as they were originally written.

This episode features five documents from Sweetie in the spring and early summer of 1948. Unfortunately, February 1948 begins with Sweetie's son, Lewis, becoming sick and being hospitalized for pneumonia. Then, we fast forward to letters from March and May of 1948, in which we learn that Sweetie, Lew, and Lewis are leaving Norwood, Pennsylvania and are planning to move back to her home state of Iowa to stay in the town where her parents live - Lacona.

Finally, the story progresses to June 1948, in which month Sweetie wrote no letters, but we know the family was still in Pennsylvania, as we review the photos from the wedding of Lew's sister, Elizabeth (Sweetie's sister-in-law). Elizabeth marries a man named Bob Brown on June 19, 1948. We get to see the wedding fashion of the time - the 1940's.
