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”
Saturday, September 16, 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”
Friday, September 15, 1944
Dearest Gee. No letter from you yesterday or today again, so far. Maybe I’ll get one later on tonight. Well, according to the radio announcers and newspapermen, the war was supposed to be over today, wasn’t it? I haven’t noticed it slackening up any around here. The news does sound better day by day butContinue reading “Friday, September 15, 1944”
Thursday, September 14, 1944
Dearest Gee. Only got one letter yesterday and it was a v-mail from Coe. Guess I owe her about six months worth of letters. Listened to the war news awhile ago. Those Jerries are really getting the punishment. They aren’t getting any rest at this end either. The Burlington Free of Aug 24 or 28th,Continue reading “Thursday, September 14, 1944”
Wednesday, September 13, 1944
Dearest Gee. Well, I scrounged a little paper and some envelopes and I have the stamps you so kindly sent so I’ll try a regular letter. Got your swell card and money order for five fish yesterday. Sho thank you. Am I to understand Joannie put some in on it too? That wasn’t quite clear.Continue reading “Wednesday, September 13, 1944”
Tuesday, September 12, 1944
Dearest Gee. I’ll have to answer all your letters kinda piecemeal since this writing paper is so limited in length. I got three more letters yesterday, two nice ones from you and one from Mom. I got out my forty letters yesterday and reread them. Got a kick out of the bridge club letter. EspeciallyContinue reading “Tuesday, September 12, 1944”
Monday, September 11, 1944
Dearest Gee. Got four more letters last night. An air mail of the 25th from you and a v-mail of the 22nd. Also got a v-mail from Mom and a letter from Harry. I’m sorry I asked you for any money now, kid, as I couldn’t spend it yet tho. Things seem to be highContinue reading “Monday, September 11, 1944”
Sunday, September 10, 1944
Dearest Gee. Well, honey, they finally got us some mail yesterday and I got thirty eight letters, a swell box from Mom, and this v-mail from Mildred, and five packages of funny books and funnies from you. It was a grand day, believe me. The letters were from everyone. I got birthday cards from CoeContinue reading “Sunday, September 10, 1944”
