One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated July 8, 1944. Updates them that he just received letter four that they sent, as well as letters from Tomas Gassert and Orsyulak a man he was in service school with. Orsyulak is in New Guinea and complains about the lack of leave and pay. Leonard also answers the older letter and comments that he has already answered many of the comments within. He hopes to meet up with Gassert and will let them know if he does.
