Dearest Fran
"Hugh and Fran came of age in the 1920s, a decade when tremendous changes were taking place in the social landscape of America, and their courtship reflected the changes, taking them from the front porch swing in Bennettsville, South Carolina, to the 'swinging' stage shows and speakeasies of the city of New York"--Dust jacket.

The three of them picked up as many injured soldiers as they could and stacked them in the buckboard for transport back to the Old House.

He then considers what each has becom...
