One letter from Dottie Erickson to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated November 29, 1943. Dottie compliments Leonard on his mother, she called his house and they spoke for a while, she also stopped by to see Susan earlier in the day. She belatedly introduced herself, and gave Leonard her address. Natalie thinks it is funny they had lived so close to each other but hadn't met until Leonard was on leave. Ray Walverton has been in the Great Lakes Naval Training Station hospital with a catarral fever of 104 degrees. If Leonard is unable to visit or find Ray at the hospital he should write her and she will find information on where he is. She is on the night shift but work is slow so she is writing a few letters. She comments on how exciting it must have been to see the Notre Dame Great lakes football game.
Notre Dame had a undefeated season in 1943, until they played Great Lakes Navy on November 27. They lost 14-19.
