This blog entry shares a few links to information on the "Cultural" times during the gap in "Letters to Mary" from 1930 to 1943 when the letters resume.
Glimpsing the culture of the era adds an understanding of events in, fashion, technology, music, architecture, politics and lifestyle during that period of time in history. We can then imagine what the daily life and sentiment of the people in the letters might have been.

One of the major events of the era was the New York Worlds Fair of 1939–1940. It was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look at "the world of tomorrow".
I have duplicated a few 1939 New York Worlds Fair Postcards from my archives.
