Dear Diary Sept. 2, 1946 Burt Post

An old friend of mine sent me a box of “Constant Comment Tea” today. From what he says a company in Connecticut started by a tea drinking housewife is the talk of the town. It is good tea with a hint of cloves and orange peels. Family owned so I can’t buy stock even if I had the money.


Baby Ede and mom are doing great.


We found out that a good family friend of ours died last week. He was a Yacht Captain and apparently slipped while transferring from shore to the yacht. His body was found floating the next morning. He taught me how to sail. We’re going to miss him. William Austin’s ship has sailed for the last time. Good bye old friend.


Interesting article about the Commander of the Catholic Veterans association returning from a meeting with the Pope in exile. The Pope was concerned about the Communist influence in the US. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Italy is a hot bed of communists.


Work was good today. Many congratulations on the patent pending. The company will receive all the monetary rewards but it’s nice to be recognized.


My brother Richard got recalled into the Army and Phil is on pins and needles. This one is going to be a bad one with the atom bomb and all. I hope we don’t have to use it.
