Bez. verso: Friday night Dec. 22-1944 Dear Mami & Laddie - It was swell to talk to you and Jeannie all together - that's home - just you while getting super ready - I can't think of a nicer wish for X-mas & the new year than to say may these be many, many more occasions, with the addition of Jeanne's husband.. Mami, your violets are coming, but since Laddie, your present is going to be delayed for technical reasons, so are the violets. In time for the Christmas Table will be only my best wishes, my fond hopes & my very great and real love for all you dears - Lux.
[Die Schlagzeile der New York Times (auf dem Trottoir), ARMIST..., lässt vermuten, dass der Künstler das Kriegsende herbeisehnt: Armistice, Waffenstillstand.]
