Sarah Allgood writes to her husband, Captain Dick Allgood, on July 19, 1971, with her usual mix of sharp wit, practical planning, and pure devotion. She’s booking flights, paying bills, teasing him about math, and dreaming of his kisses — all while tanning by the pool and keeping his picture on her pillow at night.
In this letter, she asks what he wants for their anniversary and promises to pick out something “groovy” in Miami — maybe even a bikini. Her tone is flirtatious, funny, and grounded in loyalty. “You never have to worry about me being like Jean,” she writes. “I know what I married.”
