To Sigrid Undset,
Christmas Eve
[Dec. 24, 1941]
; Oslo
Flowers she sent brightened the day. Has not felt so excited about Christmas since childhood.
Maybe Churchill
[who had come to confer with Roosevelt after the recent bombing of Pearl Harbor] traveled by reindeer
like Santa Claus. His presence and his shrewd, searching gaze would wither political pettiness.
He knows the American idiom from his mother, and American politicians will realize he is sharper than they are. His
coming is almost a miracle. Reminds her that the battle cry of the Crusaders was "God with us!"
[Stout
#1566]
