I hope she’s feeling a little better than I am right now. Woe is me. There’s a very distasteful rumor floating around this place. It seems that all men who arrives here after July 1, 1939 are stuck here at least until June of 1942. Boy that is a long, long time....

Dear Camille, First of all, you’ll have to excuse my using a pencil as I can’t seem to find my pen. I haven’t received a letter, lately, from you, but then the mail boat won’t be in until tomorrow, so I guess that explains it. I guess, the way things are over here, I won’t be home for three years. It will be around the mid...

Letter Reads: "Feb. 11 1942 Dear Miss Burchfield, I believe that the quickest way for me to answer your letter of Dec. 11th (which I believe you meant to head Jan 11th) is too take the time to do it here at my quarters. So now I have relaxed a bit and will ask you to bear up with my penmanship as I have no typewriter here. I’m awfully afraid I can giv...
