Dearest Gee. Just saw a batch of mail go by with our mail orderly under it so we should get some letters today. Haven’t heard from Chick now for some time. He should be coming thru with one. I already owe Erv about four. Someday maybe I’ll catch up. How is the romance between BernadineContinue reading “Thursday, February 24, 1944”

Italy Dearest Gee. Have had a busy day today but it’s kinda slowed down now, so here goes for a letter. I got so many letters and cards two days ago that I lost track of the number. Got a flock of them from you, kid. All us depend on that. Also got a sectionalContinue reading “Thursday, February 17, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Just showed Close your pictures. It is pretty well settled that the best picture of you is the one where you are sitting on the floor by the presents. From all that array of gifts spread out there, it looks like you did first rate. Sure enjoyed my candy and am still enjoyingContinue reading “Tuesday, February 15, 1944”
Monday, February 14, 1944 (Valentine’s Day)
Italy Dearest Gee. Well, I sure have hit the jack-pot the last few days. Got your two air-mails of Jan. 4th and Jan. 27. Also your four v-mails of the 12, 13, 14, and 15th. Then I got a letter from Erwin Hansons with their picture in it; one from Mae, one from Florence Nesler,Continue reading “Monday, February 14, 1944 (Valentine’s Day)”

Dearest Gee. Well, kid, I hit the jackpot last night on the letters, got your Jan. 8 and 11th air mail letters and the 18th and 10th v-mail letters. Also got a swell card from Mom that she completely filled with writing, and one from Erv, and one from Pauline Sedgewick. Was kinda surprised toContinue reading “Thursday, February 10, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Guess it’s about time I took my pen in hand and wrote you a few lines. You know somebody ought to make a different map of Italy because on every map it shows level places and there really isn’t any. All I can see is mountains. And what mountains! Sure would like toContinue reading “Monday, February 7, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Well, kid, I’m practically safe and sound for awhile anyway. Have a slight cold outside of that I’m as well as the next one. How are you and that flu epidemic coming along? Sure hope you don’t get that — any of you. The censor now tells us we can say a littleContinue reading “Thursday, January 20, 1944”
