The Love Sweetie Podcast is a unique historical project that features real letters from Kathryn Frances Demaree Graham a.k.a. "Sweetie" that were written during her lifetime.  These authentic letters are narrated and commented on by the hosts of the show (who give context on what is being discussed).  

This episode features eight documents, including letters and postcards.  In these communications, we learn that Sweetie and Lew are still trying purchase a house near Naval Air Station (NAS) Willow Grove in August 1949.  They are getting some financial assistance ($800) from her parents and her sister, Jeanne, but there are a lot of administrative matters to handle.  

Additionally, Sweetie writes to her sister about the relationship between her sister-in-law, Elizabeth with her in-laws, the Browns.  Elizabeth is looking forward to spending a month at the New Jersey Shore, which was an arrangement she had made with her in-laws.  Meanwhile, back in Iowa, Sweetie's parents and sister are going to visit her brother's family in Chicago, to celebrate the birth of another baby, and finally, we learn that Sidney (Lew's mother) is preparing to sell the Graham family home at 936 Springfield Road.
