NAWSA General Correspondence Olmstead, Margaret T.

"I cannot see the Christ-child
For the soldiers marching past,
I cannot hear the angels
For the cannon's angry blast,
But I know the bells are ringing,
and that faith and hope are clinging
To the time when Love shall crown the world at last!"
547 Elm Ave, Long Beach, Calif.
Nov. 30, 1942
Christmas greetings to my dear Miss
Blackwell. I do not know who wrote the
above lines, but they say what many of us
feel right now. 
Love from
