One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated December 22, 1944. He updates them on the Christmas spirit in town and at the U.S.O. He attended a formal dance there with all the girls dressed up. It almost felt like home except that it was on a open roof dance floor. He received letters from Lulu Graeff and from Mrs. Winemiller, who writes that Robert was transferred from the front due to a "slight case of shell shock and battle fatigue." Leonard comments that Robert hadn't written to him about it in his last letter but he had noticed a change in address. He comments "I'm beginning to see what he means 'he's scared'." He wished Susan and Raymond a happy Christmas and wants them to write all about it.
