Graeff, Susan Prowell, 1890-1967 to Leonard Eugene Graeff

One letter from Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated December 14, 1943. Susan has a cold, she has coughing fits and stomach issues. Her doctor said her lungs are raw, as is her throat which is causing the coughing. Raymond is almost over his cold. She mentions that there is a flu outbreak in Philadelphia that has over 200,000 cases. There is another 250,000 cases of the flu in another part of New Jersey. The schools have been closed to combat the spread of disease. Susan advises Leonard that if he gets a cold he should go straight to a doctor as the flu acts quickly. She cites the flu as a reason that Leonard may not be getting much mail. She had phone calls from Mr. Moyer, Kennith's dad, Mr. Winemiller and Joyce Grass, all asking for Leonard's address. Susan responds to an earlier question from Leonard on how she feels about Joyce Grass, an old girlfriend of Leonard. She writes, "it surely takes nerve to take a ring from a fellow, and then go out with other fellows." She encourages Leonard to not worry so much about school as he will get better. She refers to Jack Saw, a claim agent, who stopped by to get Raymond's report on an accident at work.
