One letter from Robert A. Winemiller to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated December 30, 1942. Robert is glad Leonard had a good time in Chicago. He received pictures of a woman he has been in contact with but hasn't opened it because he is worried what she will look like. Robert had seven teeth filled at the dentist. He plans to submit his application in for OCS in January. His unit marched eleven miles the day prior. He is gaining weight slowly and hopes to be at 160lbs. Signed as "Fuzzy."

Graeff, Leonard Eugene, 1920-2016
