JoeChick – Letters From Snook

Sunday, February 25, 1945

Dearest Gee. I’m going to try and write you a letter but I’ve got visitors and you know how that goes. Write a line and then stop and shoot the bull for an hour. I had a little time this morning and dashed Billy off a line. I went to see Doug today for awhile.Continue reading “Sunday, February 25, 1945”

Sunday, February 4, 1945

Dearest Gee. Well, honey, that jackpot came around again today. I got eight letters and two packs of comic books. Got your Dec. 23 letter and the comic books were from you too. Thanks a lot, kid. I see you didn’t forget the Dagwood one. Too bad they don’t publish them oftener. That’s my favorite.Continue reading “Sunday, February 4, 1945”

Dearest Gee. Got your three v-mails yesterday. Two were of Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 but the other one had no date on it.

Saturday, July 15, 1944

Dearest Gee. Got your July 3 letter and Mom’s July 4 letter yesterday. They were both nice long ones too. You sure sounded kinda down in the dumps. Cheer up, I’m banking on the Russians getting this war over this summer. Might have to last to this fall. Can you get any more film? ThereContinue reading “Saturday, July 15, 1944”
