Dearest Gee. Guess it’s high time I was writing again. Am still okay and my cold is practically gone. How are things coming along at home? We had another mail call three or four days ago – seems like a year already. I got your card telling me not to flirt but play checkers! ThatContinue reading “Tuesday, August 17, 1943”

Dearest Gee. Well, honey, guess it’s about time I was writing you again. Still don’t have much to tell tho. Am still in the best of health and getting plenty of good eats. Don’t get a whole hell of a lot of sleep tho which is about the biggest drawback. They sure pile on theContinue reading “Thursday, August 12, 1943”

For one of the few times in my life I took up the well known crap game. I guess I’m just no gambler tho.Continue reading “Thursday, July 22, 1943”

Dearest Gee, I suppose by the time you get these letters our anniversary will have come and gone. Sure wish I could have bought you something for the occasion but it was, and still is, impossible. The last P.X. had nothing except the usual needs for the men. They did have a “main” P.X. thereContinue reading “Sunday, July 18, 1943”
