Dearest Gee. Well, kid, I hit the jackpot last night on the letters, got your Jan. 8 and 11th air mail letters and the 18th and 10th v-mail letters. Also got a swell card from Mom that she completely filled with writing, and one from Erv, and one from Pauline Sedgewick. Was kinda surprised toContinue reading “Thursday, February 10, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Guess it’s about time I took my pen in hand and wrote you a few lines. You know somebody ought to make a different map of Italy because on every map it shows level places and there really isn’t any. All I can see is mountains. And what mountains! Sure would like toContinue reading “Monday, February 7, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Well, kid, I’m practically safe and sound for awhile anyway. Have a slight cold outside of that I’m as well as the next one. How are you and that flu epidemic coming along? Sure hope you don’t get that — any of you. The censor now tells us we can say a littleContinue reading “Thursday, January 20, 1944”

Dearest Gee. I’m having the same trouble with your mail as you are with mine. Namely, I just don’t get any from you. Get them from everybody else tho. Yesterday I got two packages, one from the Crofts and one from Dad. Es + Harry sent a box of chocolate and some package candy andContinue reading “Friday, January 28, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Guess I got time to scribble off a few lines to you. Should write one to Erv and to Chick. I got a letter from Erv today and one from Chick yesterday. Chick said he was okay and was looking forward to seeing me. Things aren’t that simple tho, I’m afraid. I sentContinue reading “Wednesday, January 26, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Don’t have much to write about tonight so I’ll make this one a v-mail. I have your package ready to send and will be sending it probably tomorrow. All I’m putting in is the bed spread, one cameo, and some little trinkets for you and Bernadine. The medals are for Billy, L. Harry,Continue reading “Tuesday, January 25, 1944”

(or possibly the first of two letters on Tuesday, January 25, 1944) Dearest Gee. Say will you quit bawling me out on account of the letter proposition? You know I write to you first everytime, in fact, you get a letter whether anyone else does or not, but after I mail them from then onContinue reading “Monday, January 24, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Well, kid, I went to town this afternoon. Tried to find a bed spread for you but I only found one place and he wanted twenty-two bucks for one you could get in the States for five. I thought I’d look around for another place open (it being Sunday) so I decided toContinue reading “Sunday, January 23, 1944”
Saturday, January 22, 1944
Dearest Gee. Well, kid, I had another pay day. Didn’t come any too soon either. In case you want to mark it down it was 29.60 lira. Better known as twenty-nine dollars and sixty cents. The first five went to a cameo for you. It isn’t in a setting but I suppose — rather I’mContinue reading “Saturday, January 22, 1944”

Somewhere in Italy Dearest Gee. At last I can say a little more than ordinary if they don’t change their minds and blot it all out. We have been in action against the Germans in the mountains of Italy. Came thru okay although there were a few times I was plenty scared. One day weContinue reading “Wednesday, January 19, 1944”
