My sister's favorite nephew

May 10, 1942

Today is Sunday. It is a beautiful spring day and the sun is shining so bright! In about an hour or so I will be leaving to go to our Dutch reformed church in Velson. Velson is a small town near Harlem. Peter was going to be there as well. Peter is Corrie's favorite nephew. He is an organist in the church. He is so fantastic on the organ that he won an organist competition. The most impressive part was that he won against forty older men who had more experience then he did.
We loved hearing him play the organ. It was like he was meant to play the organ. It made us all happy even though the churches were all packed now due to the soldiers instructions. Now church was the only thing that helped us to keep our faith during this time of misery.
Well, it's time for church so I will talk to you soon. Good bye.
