One letter from Robert Winemiller to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated May 19, 1943. Robert warns Leonard to stay out of the army. He relays that his unit will leave in June for several months of maneuvers. The scope of his exercises has grown including "Bayonet training, Scout & Patrolling, Compass & Map reading, close order drill, extended order drill." The next day they're scheduled for the rifle range again and he notes " we know we're headed somewhere after maneuvers!" Robert is very excited about the month of June when his love interest, Connie will come to town. She has a "'42 Buick Convertible - white...' She wants him to keep it and he is excited about the idea. He relays that he "got a stripe" and is now a Private First Class. Signed "Bob, Fuzz."
