Dearest Gee. Long time no write, hey? Sure couldn’t do it, honey, although I thought about you all the time. We did manage to get mail once and I collected a few although that seems like years ago. Came through okay but picked up a cold somewhere along the line. I hope I never haveContinue reading “Friday, June 9, 1944”

Saturday, May 20, 1944
Dearest Gee. Well, we’re having a little California sunshine today so it’s a good day for letter writing. If a guy had anything to write about, it would be a good day for it, at least. Think I told you yesterday about getting a letter from Jack and Hilah. I dashed off a line toContinue reading “Saturday, May 20, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Got your nice April 27 v-mail today and it wasn’t even photographed. There was one smudge on it so I suppose they figured it wasn’t fit to photograph. Yes, Chick had a birthday but I didn’t know anything about it. The last time I saw him he mentioned something about his birthday andContinue reading “Friday, May 19, 1944”
Wednesday, May 17, 1944
Dearest Gee. Got your letter of May 3, rather the v-mail of that date, a letter from Mom of the same date, and one from Claude dated April 29. Seems like the air-mail is coming faster, or just as fast at least as the v-mail now. So you know what that means. Sure happy toContinue reading “Wednesday, May 17, 1944”
Tuesday, May 16, 1944
Dearest Gee. Got your v-mail of May 1st and your airmail of April 18th. I’ve already received later airmails than that but I cease to wonder about the mail situation anymore. Went to see Chick last night but didn’t get to visit with him much because they were playing a game of softball with anotherContinue reading “Tuesday, May 16, 1944”
Sunday, May 14, 1944
Dearest Gee. Got your swell air mails of April 30th and May 3 today. Also got a v-mail from Erv. You sure must be hard up for something to do if you got out all my old clothes and washed them. I got some right now that you could wash if you wanted to. TheyContinue reading “Sunday, May 14, 1944”
Saturday, May 13, 1944
Dearest Gee. Thought for sure Christmas had come early today. Man, did I ever get the stuff! That sure is a swell picture of you. Is that the one you were referring to as to using a coupon for it? And was that the surprise you were talking about in your v-mail of the 26th?Continue reading “Saturday, May 13, 1944”
Thursday, May 11, 1944
Dearest Gee. Sure have been collecting the mail the last few days but haven’t been answering any. Got your two long air mails of the 17th and 25th, a letter from Claude, two from Sis (one a v-mail), and v-mails from Dad, Mae, Mildred, Carrie and Florence. I also got a nice can of candyContinue reading “Thursday, May 11, 1944”
Sunday, May 7, 1944
Dearest Gee. Not much doing this afternoon so I’ll try and turn in the daily report. Since I wrote last night, I’ve acquired a few air mail envelopes from Moreno so I can rip a few of these off now. Read over your air mails of yesterday again. Maybe I can answer a few ofContinue reading “Sunday, May 7, 1944”
Saturday, May 6, 1944
Dearest Gee. Got those two juicy airmails of the 17th and 25th today. Got a nice long typewritten jobby from Sis too. Sure am tired tonight. Went through a few maneuvers today. Threw so many smoke grenades I feel like a fireman on a busy day. The way Chick describes our quarters you’d think weContinue reading “Saturday, May 6, 1944”
