Dearest Gee. Received your March 14th v-mail today. Also got a long letter from Mom and a v-mail from Florence. You guys really must be having a time with Linda. I know the folks are anyway. Mom was telling of some of the antics she went through too. I sure would like to see her.Continue reading “Monday, March 27, 1944”

Sunday, March 26, 1944

Dearest Gee. Well, I really did hit today from you. Got five letters from you. An airmail with those “snow” pictures, and four v-mails of the 8th, two of the 10th and one of the 12th. Also got the cutest letter from Billy. They really are a masterpiece. I think I just asked last nightContinue reading “Sunday, March 26, 1944”

Saturday, March 25, 1944

Dearest Gee. Haven’t had any mail for a couple of days. Should be getting some pretty soon — I hope. This country around here is pretty in a way. Sometimes during the day it’s so quiet it makes you wonder if a war is really going on. But something always has to happen to spoilContinue reading “Saturday, March 25, 1944”

Monday, March 20, 1944

Dearest Gee. Hit the jackpot again today on the mail. Got two v-mails from you and a air mail and a package of funnies. Also got two long letters from Mom. Then I got a v-mail from Era. I managed to write Erv a letter last night. He was beginning to wonder why I hadn’tContinue reading “Monday, March 20, 1944”

Sunday, March 19, 1944

[Continued from the letter begun on March 16, 1944] Well, well, time certainly does fly, doesn’t it? Haven’t had any more mail since the other page but I should be getting a batch soon. I did get a letter from Chick and one from Erv. Chick says he’s doing okay. I was glad to hearContinue reading “Sunday, March 19, 1944”

Thursday, March 16, 1944

Dearest Gee. Well, I got five more packages of funnies and funny books from you today. Also a nice lil’ ol’ v-mail. Then I got a letter from Harry [Croft] that I about died laughing at. They remind me of the Bumstead family in the funnies. He sure has his troubles but it looks likeContinue reading “Thursday, March 16, 1944”

Wednesday, March 15, 1944

Somewhere on the Anzio-Nettuno Beach Head Dearest Gee. I thought yesterday was the fifteenth so I dated all my letters that way. They should have been dated the fourteenth. Oh well, what’s another day. What do you think of the stationary? We all got a box from the Red Cross yesterday. It had some candy,Continue reading “Wednesday, March 15, 1944”

Friday, March 10, 1944

Dearest Gee. Just got another seven letters tonight. Got letters ranging from Free. 18 to the 24th. All v-mail. I can well understand the slump in your mail. The main reason is because I haven’t been writing them. I’ll writing every chance I get. Don’t be too harsh with the government on this mail situation.Continue reading “Friday, March 10, 1944”

Wednesday, March 8, 1944

Dearest Gee. Sure did receive a gob of mail yesterday. In fact, I’ve got so much mail I’ve lost track. Got those two wunnerful Christmas boxes from “Mrs. Miller” and “Orpha Hempell”. Sure do thank you for everything. The sweater will come in pretty handy. Got a big box of candy bars from Mom theContinue reading “Wednesday, March 8, 1944”
