<p><strong>The Lost Letter</strong></p>
<p>A Short Short Story By Frank Eisenberg</p>
<p>Clark walked over to the large window of his luxurious suite overlooking the river. It was the first trip to the big city in many years. Mining contracts, consultations and wars had kept him in the far off countries for a decade or more. We mused over the letter he had just read. He wondered what his life would have been if---</p>
<p>The letter read:</p>
<p>Clark dear:</p>
<p>Last night I promised to give you my answer today. You wanted to know before you left on your first overseas assignment, which you explained might well be of several years’ duration. As you know, since father passed away, the burden of keeping up our home fell upon me. I promised father I would take care of mother, and I have never forgotten that happy smile as he closed his eyes for the last time as he realized his companion for so many years would be sheltered and protected. I couldn’t give you my answer last night because there were so many things to consider.</p>
<p>With mother an invalid I felt it was my burden and I had no right to load it upon you. You had your future before you, a chance to do big things in the world, and if I truly loved you, it would have been most selfish of me to expect you to assume further responsibilities. When I look back through the years dear Clark, I recall so many golden happy days, it is difficult for me to select one as the most memorable. The proudest day will always be when you first asked me to become your wife.</p>
<p>But I often recall that fishing trip when we bet who’d land the biggest fish. Yes, You won. (Mine got away.) The bet was a kiss, our first. I wonder if you remember that as vividly as I. And then your college days and</p>
<p>Page 2 –The Lost Letter <br /><br />the summer vacations and the fun we had during those irresponsible years. We were kids then, not grown up as we are today. Just think, I’ll be-can I really be that old? And, at last your big break when you were offered that chance you dreamed of, an engineering spot with International. Now we planned to make that first trip our honeymoon.</p>
<p>And I remember how patient you were when mother’s accident prevented our marriage as we had panned. After our lovely dinner last evening you again asked me to marry you. Well, Clark, I thought it all over and my answer is yes. In fact, I’m already packing my bag. Please come to dinner tonight, mother wanted to give us her blessing. Loving, Mary.</p>
<p>Clark had lost that letter years before. Just tonight it had turned up in one of his original pieces of luggage.</p>
<p>The letter was dated August 1922.</p>
<p>The phone rang. It was the hotel switchboard operator. There was a telegram for Mr. Russ. They would sent it up at once. A bellboy handed Clark the familiar yellow envelope.</p>
<p>It read: “Clark Russ III born twelve minutes after four. Weight seven pounds, three ounces. A real chip off the old block. Mother and child doing well. How is grandpa?</p>
<p>It was signed Mary.</p>

Sunday
July 30, 1940
(sic)
July 30, 1944
Dear Art:
Just back from the office where I grabbed a flock of thin thin paper; On Plymouth this morning I picked up Sammie Kantor, you went to Talmud Torah with him. He is discharged, lisps badly, and is going to Miller Vocational. He told me to tell you that Arthur Goldstein left for Farragut last Thursday. You may get a chance to look him up since Sammie says you know him also.
We are just taking it easy today, are rather tired from getting in so late Friday nite, we wrote you we were at Doc Littman’s’ that night. We are wondering if you will call us today, altho mother says she wrote you next Sunday is my birthday and you might want to call then. Call whenever you can get a line, someone will always be here, but don’t call person to person. Call our number Collect and we can accept or refuse the call at regular rates, then if we want to take the call, you will know someone is here to talk, otherwise, have them call you back later when someone will no doubt be at home.
We will send you a newspaper of the Aqua as soon as we get one downtown, mother says the kids on the street collected the money and then didn’t send the papers. We will go direct to the paper office.
- - - - -
6:00 P.M.
We had a lazy day, didn’t so a thing till late in the afternoon when we ran over to Sam Bight’s to leave his sister a box of candy, had a nice visit, then to Sam Broud’s, Max’s brother, who had a serious operation, we should have gone before, but when we finally did make it, he had gone to work today for the first time so we didn’t see him after all. Then to Plymouth for bread and here we are home again, wondering yet if we will talk to you. Listening to the Philco Hour now, and will then let this go for a while when we will add a few words and drive to the P.O. mailing. Will try not to forget stamps today, last night we forgot.
I hope the friends you are making are nicer boys, I told you a thing about what you would run into. Wish you had a chance to take up boxing in the Navy. I still think a good sock goes a long way with a fellow and wish you had a chance to develop one for yourself. Brot (sic) brought a flock of thin paper from the office so we will be able to write longer letters, and I didn’t get the idea from your gramp, believe, me. More later

July 30, 1944 letter to Art from Frank Eisenberg
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Frank Eisenberg causally references the war when he tells Art that he picked up an old schoolmate from Talmud Torah, Sammie Kantor. Said, Sammie was recently discharged, had a lispe and planned to attend Miller Vocational. Said Sammie told him a guy he knew, Arthur Goldstein, left for Farragut (where Art is stationed) last Thursday and to look him up.</p>
<p>Later in his letter, Frank said that he warned Art about the sort of fellow he might run up against once he was in the Navy. That a good sock goes a long way and that he wished that Art could take up boxing in the Navy.</p>
<p> Two other things also worth nothing in Frank’s letter. He told Art that he planned to listen to the Philco Hour and suggested that when Art called next week for his birthday, August 6, 1944, that he call <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Collect</span>.</p>
<p>The Philco Hour was a once a week radio show that featured the Philco Orchestra. Here's a YouTube link with the orchestra playing a favorite from, “Connecticut Yankee that musical version of Mark Twain’s story, Thou Swell.” Philco Hour: <a title="The Philco Hour" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NkKD8aUxRs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NkKD8aUxRs</a></p>
<p>A<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> collect call</span> was a telephone call where the calling party called at the called party’s expense. At that time collect calls were only possible as an operator assisted call. A person-to-person call was an operator-assisted call in which the calling party asked to speak to a specific party and not simply to anyone who answered. The caller was not charged for the call unless the requested party was reached. This method was popular when telephone calls were relatively expensive. Station-to-station was a method of placing a telephone call, with or without assistance, in which the calling party agreed to talk to whoever answered the telephone.

Those Who Die!
The grocer’s son is on Saigon,
The baker’s now in Rome.
The newsboy that we used to have
Lies buried far from home.
The little laundry man is gone,
He lies there waiting, still,
For the transport that will carry him
Back home from Bougainville.
At Kasserine the Plumber’s boy
Picked up a shrapnel bit,
And in London’s robot-bombing hell
Our neighbor’s son was hit.
Three schoolboys lie in Coral Seas,
No more their tramping feet,
Will echo through the corridors
Though the enemy retreat.
With what adventurous spirit
Those youngsters joined the fray,
The morning of December 8th,
I’ve ne’er forget that day.
At Anzie the fruit man’s son
Fell from a sniping Hun,
And many kids my youngster knew
Lie dying in the sun.
That rich kid on the corner
We used to think so swell
Chalked up his fifteenth Zero
And, died in a fiery hell.
The grocer’s a Norwegian,
The finest boy we knew,
The baker was Bohemian,
The newsboy was a Jew.
So rich and poor alike they fall,
A price they’re glad to pay
To cleanse the world of tyranny,
And pave a better way.
And shall we fail those boys who die
Their sacrifice in vain?
Let’s conquer greed and lust and hate,
And make Honor rise again.

"Those Who Die!" by Frank Eisenberg.
Description
An account of the resource
“Those Who Die”, was a poem written by Frank Eisenberg. The deaths of those in the protagonist's life who died fighting in World War II are acknowledged. Those who died included the grocer's son, the baker, the laundry man, the fruit man, the plumber's son, and the newsboy, many of the working class people in his life. The poem also acknowledges the deaths of three schoolboys, a neighbor boy, the rich boy up the street and classmates of his son. The poem ends on a positive note and asks that their sacrifice not be in vain and that "greed, lust and hate”, be conquered and make "Honor rise again."

And pave a better way.
And shall we fail those boys who die
Their sacrifice in vain?
Let’s conquer greed and lust and hate,
And make Honor rise again.

Those Who Die!
by Frank Eisenberg
The grocer's son is on Saipon;
The baker's now in Rome,
The newsboy we use to have,
Lies buried far from home.
The little laundry man is gone,
He lies there waiting, still,
For the transport that will carry
Him back home from Bougainville.
At Kasserine the plumber's boy,
Picked up a shrapnel bit,
And, in London's robot-bombing hell
Our neighbor's son was hit.
Three school boys lie in Coral Seas,
No More their trampling feet,
Will Echo through the corridors,
Though the enemy retreat.
With what adventures spirit,
Those youngsters joined the fray,
The morning of December 8th,
I'll ne'er forget the day.
At Ansie the fruit man's son
Fell from a sniping Hun,
And many kids my youngster knew
Lie dying in the sun.
The rich kid on the corner
We use to think so swell
Chalked up his fifteenth ___
And died in a fiery hell.
The grocer's a Norwegian,
The finest boy we knew,
The baker was Bohemian,
The newsboy was a Jew.
So rich and poor alike they fall,
A price they're glad to pay
To cleanse the world of tyranny,
And pave a better way.
And shall we fail those boys who die
Their sacrifice in vain?
Let's conquer greed and lust and hate,
And, make Honor rise again.
