Description

Crowe writes from Monterey, California, to Creekmore in San Francisco, California through Victory Mail or V-Mail. Crowe thanks Creekmore for the Christmas card and discusses his plans to go home to Nova Scotia for the holidays. Crowe says that he read Creekmore's book, The Stone Ants, and gave it to a friend, George Hinman, at the Presidio of Monterey. Crowe and a friend named Frank went to San Francisco, California, to hear Lotte Lehmann sing. Crowe comments on World War II news and asks if Creekmore is involved in the invasion of the Gilbert Islands in the Pacific Theatre. He says that Ballet Russe is in San Francisco to perform 'Red Poppy.' He plans to show Una Jeffers, wife to poet Robinson Jeffers, Creekmore's poetry. Includes envelope.
