Dearest Gee. What do you think of my new stationary. Bought it last night, also, lighter flints, fluid, and a new toothbrush. Having had the same one since I’ve been in, I thought it about time.

Dearest Gee. Got your Wednesday letter this morn. Also got a letter from Coe with gum in it. Did you plan on sending me the snapshots to see? In Sis’s letter she sounded like somebody already had sent them. She wanted to know if I didn’t think they were good. Business is sure picking upContinue reading “Friday, October 1, 1943”

Dearest Gee. Guess we are both in the same boat on our writing as I slipped up last night. Had one all started and Doug came barging in and wanted me to go to town.
