Monday, January 10, 1944

Dearest Gee. Got a nice bunch of letters today. Got your Dec. 20th jobby, one from Dad, one from Mildred, and one from Esther. It was Mildred’s first v-mail at least she said it was. It was dated the 23, the latest one I’ve received from home yet. Kid, I sure don’t understand about theContinue reading “Monday, January 10, 1944”

Sunday, January 9, 1944

Dearest Gee. Got a letter from Erv again today. That makes two days in a row. New record. I wrote him one last night and wrote one to Chick. Guess Chick’s plans kinda got messed up a little. Hope you are appreciating these letters. I don’t have much I can write about but at leastContinue reading “Sunday, January 9, 1944”

Friday, January 7, 1944

Dearest Gee. Received that three page morale builder of Dec. 15 today. Sure been sweating the letters out. Got one from Sis and one from Erv too. Now I’ve got three letters to write. So you received Chick’s Christmas presents okay, huh? He told me what they were. I expect they are really swell. SeemsContinue reading “Friday, January 7, 1944”

Tuesday, January 4, 1944

Dearest Gee. Have been sweating out a letter from you for the past few days but no luck so far. Better be getting one soon as my morale is getting kinda low again. Just what in the hell is all this striking going on over there anyway. It’s about time somebody was wising up. AContinue reading “Tuesday, January 4, 1944”

Monday, January 3, 1944

Dearest Gee. Well, kid, I’m still hanging around. Had a few narrow escapes but reckon I’m still supposed to come back to the States when this is over. The trouble is, this ain’t over yet, is it? I was sure glad to get those two letters from you yesterday. Then I got your Dec. 8Continue reading “Monday, January 3, 1944”

Sunday, January 2, 1944

Dearest Gee. Got your swell Dec. 9 and 11th letters today. Sure am glad you got straightened out with the mail. I didn’t think I deserved that bawling out you gave me. Take it back? I try in every way to fulfill your requests but it doesn’t look like the prospects are very good. OneContinue reading “Sunday, January 2, 1944”

Saturday, January 1, 1944 (New Year’s Day)

Dearest Gee. Haven’t heard from you for quite a few days now. Should be getting another gob of them soon I hope. What did you do for New Years, kid? Have a good time? Sure hope we have a better one next year together. Personally, I think it’s about time we spent awhile together, don’tContinue reading “Saturday, January 1, 1944 (New Year’s Day)”

Friday, December 31, 1943 (New Year’s Eve)

Dearest Gee. Guess this will be the last letter you’ll get from me this year. Having a hell of a time getting it written. S’pose by now you are getting ready for a big New Years part. Don’t forget to have somebody turn out the lights for you. Mrs. Ozier and Cecil are having theContinue reading “Friday, December 31, 1943 (New Year’s Eve)”

Thursday, December 30, 1943

Dearest Gee. I noticed in one of your letters you were telling about everyone getting a letter before you. I can’t understand it as you are always the first I write to, you know that. As a rule whenever I have time to write you I have time to write Mom. I don’t see whyContinue reading “Thursday, December 30, 1943”

Wednesday, December 29, 1943 (to Gee’s Bridge Club)

Well Gang, I got your super card and the super duper cigarettes okay. The package was the first and only one that I’ve got so far. I did get twenty-six cards and letters in about three days time. Got cards from Paul Kunes, Ed Morris’s too. The mail was my Christmas this time and IContinue reading “Wednesday, December 29, 1943 (to Gee’s Bridge Club)”
