Dearest Gee. Haven’t had any letters now for a couple of days but guess I’d better scribble off a line anyway. Just got through with a delicious dinner. We barbecued a couple chickens (got ‘em legally too) and had mashed potatoes and corn. I ain’t a bit hungry right now, burp. Took about two hoursContinue reading “Sunday, November 12, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Got your Oct. 1, 2 and 30th letters today and also one from Sis of the 30th. She sent me some flints too and the copy of the article in the Reader’s Digest.

Dearest Gee. Well, honey, I celebrated Election Day with two v-mails from you of Oct. 25th and 26th and a big package from the Gehrkes’ and the Neslers’ combined. It had everything imaginable in it. Hankys, pecans, gum, candy bars, shaving cream, toothpaste (two tubes of each) and cookies. I’m really getting quite a supplyContinue reading “Tuesday, November 7, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Got two “dehydrated” letters yesterday. One from you and one from Coe. I’m getting all twisted up on whether you’re improving from taking these treatments or not. One letter will say you aren’t doing so good and another will say you are. Then I compare dates (if I still have the letters) andContinue reading “Saturday, November 4, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Got “boo coo” [beaucoup] mail again today. Had to give up on the typewriter last night before I was quite ready. Didn’t get to thank you for the five rolls of film you sent Oct. 5th. Also got a Christmas box from Mom chuck full of candy bars, marshmallows and even some licoriceContinue reading “Thursday, November 2, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Well, honey, I got your Oct. 19th, and 20th letters today. Also got a nice long one from Mom dated the 20th. We’ve been pretty busy lately so I haven’t had a chance to write. I got a chance to use this typewriter so you can at least half way read this one.Continue reading “Wednesday, November 1, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Got your Sept. 20 letter today and two v-mails, one from Dad and one from Mom. Your letters along in there are full of bad news. I have received some v-mails from you with the later dates that were better tho. I sure do hope your hip gets itself ironed out tho. GuessContinue reading “Sunday, October 29, 1944”
