Dearest Gee. Gosh, honey, I sure have been neglecting you lately. But I think I had a good reason. Last Saturday I went into the P.X. bar to get a glass of beer and Lee and Close were there with a Merchant Marine officer. It was a guy from Lee’s hometown. Lee and Close hadContinue reading “Wednesday, August 15, 1945”

Dearest Gee. Gonna try out my new stationary on you. We got our P.X. ration tonight. Have a store uptown where you take your card and get it punched. I got 14 packs of cigarettes, 10 candy bars, soap, shaving stuff, mirror, fruit juice, and god knows what all for fifteen kroner. That’s three bucksContinue reading “Monday, July 16, 1945”

Dearest Gee. At long last, honey, some mail came through. Seems to be fairly late mail too as your latest was dated June 8. I got your letters of May 28, June 2, 4, 7, + 8th. That was the postmarks anyway. Then I got a nice long one from Dad of the 6ht, oneContinue reading “Friday, June 22, 1945”
Thursday, April 12, 1945 (second letter)
Dearest Gee. Well, honey, I just wrote you a four pager awhile ago but that was before we had our mail call. I really collected from you. Four nice fat air mail letters of March 28, 29, 30th and April 1. I thought that was really making good time and it tickled me no end.Continue reading “Thursday, April 12, 1945 (second letter)”

Somewhere in Germany. Dearest Gee. Well, honey, guess it’s time I got off a few lines to you and let you know I’m still okay.

Dearest Gee. Well, honey, no mail for two days now. Sure hope I connect tomorrow. We got paid tonight so I’m in the dough again. How are you fixed? Have you got the fifty yet? I’m going to try one more time to get some souvenirs but don’t think I’ll have much luck. It’s goingContinue reading “Thursday, March 15, 1945”

Dearest Gee. Well, honey, I haven’t heard from you for a couple of days now, no letters from anyone today. Maybe tomorrow, huh!

Haven’t written Coe or Claude + Mildred yet but figured they would find out right awayContinue reading “Monday, January 15 & Tuesday, January 16, 1945”

Dearest Gee. Well, what do you think of the picture? Do you think you can have it made bigger, and more copies made from it? They only allowed us one picture apiece and I imagine Mom + Dad would like one. The names of the fellows are as follows; reading left to right, first row:Continue reading “Saturday, December 23, 1944”

Dearest Gee. Got your Dec. 7th jobby today and one from Mom and Carrie of Dec. 8th. Sure was glad to get them and especially yours. We must both be in the same fix, namely not getting one another’s mail. Haven’t received your package yet either. What are they trying to do to us, kid,Continue reading “Friday, December 22, 1944”
