Dearest Gee. No mail yesterday but I’ll try to dash off a few lines anyway. Here it is the end of the month and no pay day. We had our partial pay a week or so ago so I don’t expect any pay for awhile yet. Did I tell you we got some P.X. rationsContinue reading “Saturday, September 30, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Santa Claus arrived early this year. I got four packages from you. Candy bars, marshmallows, and peanuts. I don’t know who had the most fun, the fellows with me, or me. They got just as excited as if they belonged to them. We sure do thank you, kid. Also got a letter fromContinue reading “Thursday, September 28, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Got your Sept. 7 v-mail yesterday. Also got one of the same date from Dad. Been sweating out the mail lately. It doesn’t seem to be coming in so good. I put in an order for a bucks worth of airmail envelopes so you should be getting airmails from now on, if IContinue reading “Monday, September 25, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Well, I’m back down to v-mail again. Haven’t got any more air mail stamps so it will have to be these for awhile. Didn’t get any letters yesterday but I wrote everyone that I owed one to. We got a partial pay today. I received the equivalent of twenty-nine seventy four. I’d justContinue reading “Friday, September 22, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Feel better now. Just received your Sept. 4 and Aug. 29 letters and Joannie’s swell card note and money order. Also got a nice long letter from Mom of Sept. 4. I want to write Joannie my thanks but don’t know whether I’ll have time or not tonight as it’s getting dark. It’sContinue reading “Wednesday, September 20, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Didn’t get any mail today or yesterday (so far today anyway). It sure makes it tough to write a letter. Douglass brought me my camera so now I can take the other four pictures if it stops this liquid sunshine long enough. I still haven’t received the films you sent. Hope they don’tContinue reading “Monday, September 18, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Feel better now, I just got five letters all dated Sept 1 from you, Mom, Es, Sis and Bernadine. Bernie sent me her picture which was very sweet of her. I showed it to these G.I. wolves and they went nuts. They had to know all the details. So you are in ChicagoContinue reading “Saturday, September 16, 1944”
