Welcome to the Love Sweetie Podcast! In this episode, Sweetie writes to her family two letters from late May and early June 1952. She recounts her attempt to get her roof fixed, as the company that had supposedly fixed it some time earlier had not done a complete job. Her interaction with the men at the roofing company surprises them, and they agree to return to fix their earlier work. Sweetie also writes of plans for her parents to visit the family in Doylestown, but does not know when they might do so. And once again, Sweetie gets into the poison ivy on her property...

In this episode we also discuss the division between West and East Germany in 1952, and talk about the progress of the Cold War.

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).

It should also be noted that the vernacular in the letters, as disclaimed at the beginning of every episode, are part of the real historic text from 1952, and do not reflect the views of anyone associated with the Podcast, including the creator and the hosts.
