Dearest Gee. Got your welcome Wednesday letter today. Also got one from Mom. Glad you didn’t waste any time in writing. I plumb forgot to go to the Van Ness to see about that mail but I’ll see tonight. I imagine they returned it by now tho. I still haven’t got much to write about.Continue reading “Saturday, September 25, 1943”

Dearest Gee. Back “home” again safe + sound. Looked all around the station for Close and Kelly but couldn’t find them. When they opened the gate and I started down to the train Close came running up so we got to ride together again all the way. Kelly hasn’t showed up yet, neither has Hoffman.Continue reading “Friday, September 24, 1943”

Dearest Gee. Guess it’s high time I was writing again. Am still okay and my cold is practically gone. How are things coming along at home? We had another mail call three or four days ago – seems like a year already. I got your card telling me not to flirt but play checkers! ThatContinue reading “Tuesday, August 17, 1943”

Dearest Gee. Well, honey, guess it’s about time I was writing you again. Still don’t have much to tell tho. Am still in the best of health and getting plenty of good eats. Don’t get a whole hell of a lot of sleep tho which is about the biggest drawback. They sure pile on theContinue reading “Thursday, August 12, 1943”

Dearest Gee. Sure have been working hard. We are pretty well settled now. We manage to sleep pretty well only you know me – never can get enough of it. We are doing pretty well on candy and cigarettes. We were issued six candy bars, and a carton of cigarettes was donated to us byContinue reading “Monday, August 2, 1943”

Dearest Gee, Guess it’s high time I was writing you something of a letter. We are so busy we don’t know which end we are standing on. I am quite well except for a slight cold that I caught on the boat. Hope you are all well. Tell Dad and Mom I am still okayContinue reading “Sunday, August 1, 1943”
Thursday, July 22, 1943
Dearest Gee, Well, I’m still among those present and accounted for. Still feeling tops. There really is so little a guy can talk about that it almost seems useless to write. For one of the few times in my life I took up the well known crap game. I guess I’m just no gambler tho.Continue reading “Thursday, July 22, 1943”

Dearest Gee, I suppose by the time you get these letters our anniversary will have come and gone. Sure wish I could have bought you something for the occasion but it was, and still is, impossible. The last P.X. had nothing except the usual needs for the men. They did have a “main” P.X. thereContinue reading “Sunday, July 18, 1943”

Dearest Gee, Thanks to the American Red Cross Chapter at Malvern, Arkansas, I have writing paper again. They opened up some boxes donated by them last night and gave us each a canvas bag full of different things. Had a small book, sewing kit, soap, razor blades, paper, pencils and envelopes. Very nice. The [redacted]Continue reading “Friday, July 16, 1943”

Dearest Gee, Just received our A.P.O. number so thought I’d better let you know as soon as possible. Guess you can keep on writing again although when we would get any mail, I don’t know. I left all my writing materials in my barracks bag and now am without them. Had to borrow these twoContinue reading “Sunday, July 11, 1943”
