Dearest Gee. Got your nice letter of the 10th, honey, and one from Mom of the 11th. Also got four packs of cigarettes from Sis that come in handy. Your letter was the second one you wrote that day.

Wednesday, September 5, 1945

Dearest Gee. I got your swell number of Aug 26 today, kid, and a card from Sis. Twas one of those moron cards and pretty cute.

Dearest Gee. No letters from you today, honey, but I did get two little packages of funnies and gum, and that swell lighter.

Dearest Gee. So nuthin’ today, kid. Can’t understand this mail situation. Sure is ragged. Well, how’s everything between the home front and the returning veterans?

Maybe it’s a goodContinue reading “Saturday, August 25, 1945”

Dearest Gee. Got your swell Aug 12 number yesterday after I had already wrote you, and today I got your Aug 2 one. So finally Chick hit the States! I’ll bet you all were excited.

Thursday, August 16, 1945

Dearest Gee. Might as well start writing while I’m sweating out a mail call. Should know in a few minutes whether I have any or not. When I do get some it generally is late mail.
