Dear Johnnie:

It’s been a long time since I heard anything from you. You are old enough to write now. Why don’t you write to me? Tell me all about yourself and what you do in school. I would like to know how you are getting along. You must be quite a boy now. You must be 10 or 11 years old now and well on in school. With XMas well on the way I’ll bet you are making a list of what you want. I hope you get everything you ask for and more, too. Do you still have your dog? And is he big? —

Tell your Daddy and Mommy to write & not go to Aunty Rose’s to read my letters. Tell Daddy to make a record of the family some time and I’ll try to find a phonograph to play it on. Love to you all

Dear Tom and Mary:

I sure was surprised as hell to receive that wonderful package from you two today. Every thing in it was just swell and sure hit the spot. I really can’t find words to express my thanks to both of you and Johnnie.

I know I have no written you in a long, long time. But you will have to excuse me because, sometimes I have a slip of memory and forget your address.

Did you have a nice Christmas? You two did not get drunk did you? Or isn’t it like when I used to be home. Drink, shoot crap and lose all my money?

Tom I can’t think of anything else at the present time. I am feeling fine, hope that you and Mary and Johnnie are the same. So I’ll close this letter with a load of thanks for the package. Hope that by next Christmas I shall be home to enjoy it with you and the rest of the family. What a reunion.

Dear Tom:

I had no idea I owed you a letter, Sorry. Yes, I want stuff: Film, candy. Food will spoil. Frank’s package came today with mouldy fudge. My mouth sure drooled. I can’t send my exposed film home, as you’ll have to wait until the war is over, which shouldn’t be very long now. I think I’ll have a French souvenir for the family if things turn out. From now on I’m on the market for a German camera. I’ve been trying for a Luger pistol, but I’d rather have a camera. I don’t have much time to buy stuff, since we move so often you can see. Jerry is on the run &we want to keep it so. Send some info about type of camera and I’ll try. I’m in Harry Gardi’s section now and I get to see alot of him. I have a Detrola miniature camera for #127 film. Got it in a carp game. Maybe I’ll have some luck in Belgium. Lots more letters to write. Love to you all.

Dear Stephen:

My first try at Vmail. How glad we all were when Arlene told me she had your first letter. Just the day before it arrives she spent with me. How glad I am that she came, it gave me a chancve to know here. She is fine and doing a great job of taking care of herself. Of course she misses you a lot.

so do we all.

Kay is getting a new hunting dog this week so he is all excited about it. He even has me reading books on hot to train hunting dogs. This one is an English setter_ black & white _ Karlton wants to name it “Jeenie”-so I guess “Jeenie” it will be. We are now enjoying the summer, which was so long in comming.

Karlton is staying at Thelma’s for a week, so you see it miss him too. Your letter came to day.

A lot fellow.

Steve Thanks

 

God Bless you (marian)

Fri. P.M.

Mary dear -

No mail from anybody at home yet. Hope you have received my address by this time and that something ill be coming along tomorrow.

I have been “bending my elbow” this afternoon. After class my roomieand I walked over to Harvard Sq., about 1/2 mi. We have to wear our garrison caps, the kind you like, when off the post. This area is alive with Navy and Army men - so I am bending my elbow most of my way up and down the street acknowledging salutes.

There is about the same number of Naval men over at Harvard Sq. as here, approximately 1000.
the Army’s Chaplin School is over there too. If I get a chance I will try and locate ???. Donald Sunday. he will be leaving here soon as their’s is a 30 day Cou?? too.

Hope to get into Boston tomorrow P.M. and get some shoes. Also see a movie, anything to get a change.
Some snow fall her elast nite, about 14 inches. Hope you escaped this one. Going to be cold tonite - clear and about 15 above now.

Wish I could think of something to say. I a m looking for a letter and thinking of you all the time. I don’t have much time to pray now - so you will have to do most of it.

All my love,
Bill

25 Jan. 1943

My mary -

The first day is about finished. It’s 23:00 and lights out at 24:00. No more o-o for awhile.

My train didnt get in until 1:15 and I got out here at 2. Only asked where I was this A.M. Filled out a lot of papers, had room assigned, supper over at 6:30 & in the room since. Classes begin tomorrow. We get up at 7.

My roommate is a bank examiner from San Francisco, Cal. He flew in but was grounded in N.Y. & didnt get in until I did.

I’ve sure thought about you a lot since last night. Hope mary & you got back to the Hotel ok and that the roads were allright today.

Will have to make this short - but I am thinking of you all the time.

My address -

Please tell them at home you got this and that I will write tomorrow.

All my love,
