One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated December 9, 1943. Leonard writes that he is surprised it is December 9th already. He came back from a swim, it was all right but he does not like running around in the cold after. He is not sure what’s happening with his mail, he writes a lot but isn’t getting much back. He mentioned that Joyce is engaged and asks Susan and Raymond's opinion of her. He was surprised that she was getting married, because she seemed to be "crazy" about him. He didn’t think it would ever be a serious relationship between them but she believed it would be. He asks if they like the photo he sent home, the girl in the picture was Natalie Roberts, who he saw when he was home on leave. The W.A.V.E.S. he mentioned in his last letter works in the hospital as a yeomen, or a clerk typist. Her rank is a 3rd class petty officer. His marks for school averaged 89. He got a 87 in math, 100 in mechanical drawing, and 82 for shop work. He hasn’t heard from Gassert yet and is wondering who had a hurt foot - Dottie or her mother. He also sends Robert Winemiller’s address. He points out that they put the money from the Christmas savings check in the wrong account. He wanted it in his savings account, not checking. He asks who Jack Saw is, as they mentioned him in their last letter
