On July 24, 1971, Sarah Allgood writes to her husband Dick after hearing his voice over the phone — a rare gift while he’s serving in Vietnam. She’s emotional but trying to stay strong, counting down the final 45 days until they’re together again. In her letter, she shares updates on daily life, asks him to thank her mother for maternity clothes, and helps a friend coordinate a tape deck order — a reminder of just how limited communication was in a world without the internet, voicemail, or easy phone access.
