One letter from Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated September 27, 1943. Susan begins her letter telling Leonard she just paid her gas, electric, and telephone bill. At which point she recounts her and Raymond's trip to "the farm" and updates Leonard on the family. She is proud of Leonard for the good scores he talks about in an earlier letter, GLC09611.091. And encourages him by saying, "I've always said you could do more than you sometime thought It's determination that's what it takes. Put your shoulder to the wheel and have determination to go through with it." Susan relays that she purchased the "Evening News...for six weeks 90 cents. It will be sent starting today & if your address is changed just tell them they will change it." Signed, "Mother and Daddy."
