January 18, 1944 (second letter)

Dearest Gee. Well, here is the continuation of that v-mail I wrote you. Sometimes a guy just can’t get enough on one of those to tell you everything you want to. I got your four packages of precious Chesterfields too. Also received a swell card from Claude and Mildred, one from Jenny + Joe [Chick],Continue reading “January 18, 1944 (second letter)”

Tuesday, January 18, 1944

Dearest Gee. Well, honey. I’ve been spending all morning on my Christmas packages. Lord, did I ever get a flock of them. I received six cans, five being full of candy, one of Prince Albert, funny books, and all of your swell presents. Sure am proud of that pipe, kid, it’s a dandy. I wonderedContinue reading “Tuesday, January 18, 1944”

Friday, January 14, 1944

Dearest Gee. Got quite a bit of mail again today. Got your two Dec. 14 ones and one dated Dec. 20 with the pictures of that new coat. Front and back views too. Right away everybody wanted to know how much it costs and all about it. I didn’t know whether they were talking aboutContinue reading “Friday, January 14, 1944”

Thursday, January 13, 1944

Dearest Gee. I’m losing track of the dates, kid. I thought yesterday was the thirteenth and now somebody tells me differently. Oh well, I’ve got nothing but time anyway. Got three more letters last night. One from you dated Nov. 30 with the newspaper page in it, thanks; one from Rudy and Carrie — aContinue reading “Thursday, January 13, 1944”

Wednesday, January 12, 1944

Dearest Gee. Sho’ did hit the jackpot this time. Got eight letters this morning. Three from you, three from Mom (Dec. 11, 20, 25), one from Sis, Dec. 25, and one from Chick of Dec. 9. Yours were two v-mails of 22, 24 Dec. and an airmail of Dec. 16. My morale went up fiftyContinue reading “Wednesday, January 12, 1944”

Wednesday, January 12, 1944

Dearest Gee. Got your Dec. 12 jobby today. The one with the fancy Christmas stationary. Mighty fine writing paper there, kid. Where did you win it? Wish I could answer a few of your questions but of course I can’t. You needn’t worry about the dates as I’ll have those. I got a letter fromContinue reading “Wednesday, January 12, 1944”

Monday, January 10, 1944

Dearest Gee. Got a nice bunch of letters today. Got your Dec. 20th jobby, one from Dad, one from Mildred, and one from Esther. It was Mildred’s first v-mail at least she said it was. It was dated the 23, the latest one I’ve received from home yet. Kid, I sure don’t understand about theContinue reading “Monday, January 10, 1944”

Sunday, January 9, 1944

Dearest Gee. Got a letter from Erv again today. That makes two days in a row. New record. I wrote him one last night and wrote one to Chick. Guess Chick’s plans kinda got messed up a little. Hope you are appreciating these letters. I don’t have much I can write about but at leastContinue reading “Sunday, January 9, 1944”

Friday, January 7, 1944

Dearest Gee. Received that three page morale builder of Dec. 15 today. Sure been sweating the letters out. Got one from Sis and one from Erv too. Now I’ve got three letters to write. So you received Chick’s Christmas presents okay, huh? He told me what they were. I expect they are really swell. SeemsContinue reading “Friday, January 7, 1944”

Tuesday, January 4, 1944

Dearest Gee. Have been sweating out a letter from you for the past few days but no luck so far. Better be getting one soon as my morale is getting kinda low again. Just what in the hell is all this striking going on over there anyway. It’s about time somebody was wising up. AContinue reading “Tuesday, January 4, 1944”
