Description

This is a collection of letters written by Mary Price (1919-1991), a Welsh nurse, to Samuel Barber, an American Army Lieutenant, from 1944 to 1948. During much of this time, Mary was working in London as a nurse and Sam was a soldier with American forces in Europe. The letters mix observations about the historic events of the 1940's with the personal concerns of individuals living during the historic times of the 1940s. Mary's letters contain references to Winston Churchill, observations of the horrors of war she saw while working in military hospitals, complaints and praise of the new Labour government, along with humorous comments about her nursing friends and her family. By 1946 Sam had been shipped back to his native North Carolina and left the service. Thereafter the letters reflect Mary's struggling to crawl through the bureaucratic immigration maze so she could join Sam in America. This struggle, which was sometimes humorous and sometimes despairing, was endured by countless G.I. Brides in the 1940's. A few months after arriving back in America, Sam bought a house for them. which Mary dubs in her letters Shangri-La', after the popular novel of the 1930's. Mary finally arrived in America and married Sam in June of 1947. Mary and Sam had two children, Elizabeth and David. These letters were discovered shortly after the death of Sam in 1999 and are edited by Sam and Mary's son, David John Price Barber.
