One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated July 29, 1944. He updates them on his everyday life and how alike every day is. He makes a veiled reference to an event that took place which he cannot mention. He may be referring to a visit by Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Hawaii that took place July 29, 1944. He is glad they received the pillow top he sent and asks them to send a picture of him to Melvin. He complains about Doris Bixler expecting him to send her gifts. He updates them on a few friends; June Walter, Dottie Erickson, and Joe Rock. He also mentions prisoners of war in Italy reportedly walking around and visiting parks.
