One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated December 18, 1944. He updates them on the letters he received from; Dick Miller Florence Huber, Arvilla Good, Orsyulak, Mary, and June Walter. He also mentions Malinda Graeff, Lulu Graeff, and Seward Hutton. He is really excited for Christmas although he still wishes he was home and has hopes to be home next year. He inquires what they are doing for Christmas dinner, and if Aunt Lulu will be with them. He also asks about sugar at home and mentions that more sugar is being demanded from Hawaii. Mentions that Seward is only 16 and it seems young to him to have a job and wanting to buy a car. He cautions that Seward's parents should be careful not to be too critical or they may lose him. There were civilian women from Alabama at a dance at the recreation center that made him feel like he was home. Leonard sent a photo of the center with the letter that is not included.
