One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated February 26, 1945. He received letters from them, June Walter, Florence Huber, Marguerite Graeff, and Mrs. Winemiller. He also received a church bulletin and the Bethlehem Review. June just took her mid-terms and thinks she did well. Mentions that Marguerite wrote that Melvin is in Germany, and Stanley may be stationed near DC. Floyd visited Marguerite and gained weight. Leonard also mentions the photos Susan and Raymond sent. He declares that it reminds him of the snow they had in 1936. He inquires about Susan’s health. He is writing close to curfew and he was told that a few months before he arrived at Honolulu there were no lights in the barracks at night. When the sun went down the lights went out. He saw in the church bulletin Russell Wikers listed as lieutenant in the army in France. Also the man who married Helen Peters was listed in India on a B 24 bomber.
