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”

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”

Monday, April 17, 1944

Dearest Gee. Well, I got this far and now I don’t know what to write about. Got a much needed hair cut today now if I just had one of your famous shampoos life would be worth living again. Since Doug quit the barber business “Dr Garcia” has taken over. He didn’t leave much thereContinue reading “Monday, April 17, 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.

Tuesday, February 29, 1944

Dearest Gee. Just went over today and had a grand shower. It was one of those portable units and really hit the spot. I now feel like a million bucks. Also got my hair cut and a shave.

Dearest Gee. Just wrote you that long type written v-mail last night so I don’t have much to say tonight but will try anyway. I got your Dec. 2 v-mail today.

Friday, November 5, 1943

[Location redacted] Dearest Gee. Have a few minutes to spare now so will drop you a line to let you know I arrived safe and sound. We had a swell trip but I’m glad that part is over. The climate is really nice. Things look so queer to me here. If I only had myContinue reading “Friday, November 5, 1943”

Friday, October 15, 1943

Dearest Gee. Received your Tuesday letter this noon so will try answering it now. Got a few minutes before I have to turn in some clothes. I have to turn in my service shoes finally. Have been lugging them around for lo these many months and they are just now getting around to having themContinue reading “Friday, October 15, 1943”

Thursday, October 7, 1943

Dearest Gee. Thought I’d better start using some of this airmail stationary for a change. Got quite a bit on hand now. Finally got the other package of airmail envelopes and v-mail yesterday, that you sent. Got a whole raft of back mail again too, today. Didn’t you say you’d sent me some airmail stampsContinue reading “Thursday, October 7, 1943”

Dearest Gee. Got your Thursday and Friday letters today. Sounds like you are up to your neck in work too. The rat race has officially started now. Will probably be leaving sometime this coming week.
