Dearest Gee. Got two swell packages today and two swell letters from you yesterday. Sure do thank you. One of the packages had a return address of Mrs. F.B. Bruns so I don’t know which to thank. The handwriting looked like yours. They were both full of candy bars, caramels, and cookies. Those are shoreContinue reading “Wednesday, July 25, 1945”

Dearest Gee. I got your swell July 1 letter yesterday, kid. A five page number too! I was on my way to Oslo on pass so didn’t have time to answer it then.

Dearest Gee. Got your nice June 21 jobby today, also one from Erv and one from Erwin Hanson. Erv’s was probably the last I’ll get since that was the one he broke the news to me in. He sure sounded tickled and I expect he was. Erwin’s letter was an old one of May. HeContinue reading “Saturday, July 7, 1945”

Dearest Gee. Got your swell June 24 letter today. It sounded like you were all out of breath from getting ready to go down to Uncle Sam’s. Hope you had a nice time.
