Letter from America

An intriguing one here from reader Seth Weber – I’m not sure where he resides exactly, but his mother grew up in Brooklyn, New York during the war and had a penfriend Eileen Anslow, who lived on the Pleck Road in Walsall.

Seth is trying to trace Eileen or her family if possible – I’m wondering if the Anslow boys may be some assistance here? If not there are plenty of local history sleuths and archive diggers who I feel may be at a loose end who may like this one and be able to help.

Bob,

My mother grew up in Brooklyn, New York.

During World War II she exchanged letters with a Walsall resident, Eileen Anslow, on Darlaston Rd.

Attached you will find photos of the letters. I tried some amateur sleuthing to find Ms. Anslow or relatives just to see if they are interested in seeing the letters after 75 years.

I was not as successful as I would wish.

Hoping maybe your blog or Facebook page members might aid in the search.

Merry Christmas.

Cheers,
Seth Weber

I include the letter images as supplied.
