Dear Willard and Grace: Just a few lines for this time as I noticed a couple of clippings in the paper and am enclosing them. Apparently some of my mail hasn’t gotten through. I had a letter from Mildred dated the 14th, but some of mine must be held up somewhere as I haven’t seen…

Dear Willard and Grace; I’m C Q this noon so thought I’d take time out and drop you a short one. Don’t believe that I have written you since I have been billeted in a private home over here — or have I? Well, anyway, I am, and it is quite a nice experience. The…

Dear Helen and Wilson: I received a package from you this morning in good condition. You’ve certainly covered my needs for the present. I never expected to get Gillette Blue Blades though. How did you mange to get these? I was pleased with everything and can get caught up on some reading too. I’m billeted…

Dear Howard: Well, since I last wrote to you, I’ve had a considerable change in my way of living in that I have since been billeted in a couple of English homes, and I must say that the people really treat us swell. The people I am with now are just the average over here,…
-
Dear Willard and Grace; Thought I’d take a break and drop you a line as I believe I’m probably a little behind in writing to you. I’ve been pretty busy and just haven’t taken much time to write any detailed letters lately. Anyway, I may have thanked Helen and Wilson for the goodies in the…

Dear Willard and Grace: Just received your letters in the mail this afternoon and since I just wrote to you yesterday or the day before, thought I’d clear up some little points. First, I’m glad to hear that you are now hearing from me again as I cannot understand the reason for the delay on…

Dear Willard and Grace; Received your letter of the 25th today and therefore answering it right off the bat while I have a spare moment today. Just take a note of my address and leave off “FWD EOH” in the future. Thanks for your efforts in trying to get those magazines. If I don’t them,…
-
Dear Helen and Wilson; I have two of your letters in front of me now and am trying to figure out whether there is some question I haven’t answered. Incidentally your letter of July 27 was very hard to read as it didn’t photograph well at all. Do you suppose it is the ink you…
-
Dear Helen and Wilson and Bob: Well, I hardly know just how to start this letter as it was just a few days ago that I received word of Richard’s passing. I was really shocked when I read about it. You three have my deepest sympathy. But it still makes it hard for me to…
-
Dear Willard and Grace; Thought I’d take advantage of this little lull and bat out a letter to you as I think I’m a little behind. Yes, I was sorry to hear about Richard, but I’ve been hardened to a lot of things especially since I came into the Army I know it’s just one…
-
Dear Willard and Grace; This is the first chance that I have had to bat out a letter to you since I got over here. You can see now that I will have to try to pick up a little French. The few French I have had occasion to meet, couldn’t understand me nor I…
-
Dear Willard and Grace; I have received the pictures — about 5 or 6 different letters. Don’t send any more though, because I should have liked to have had them while I was in ___. So hold back for a while. As for Christmas package – I’ll tell you how I feel about. First, I…
