One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated August 3, 1944. He updates them on the letters he received from them and June. He mentions that he had a photograph taken and it should be ready by the end of the month. He also mentions receiving a photograph of June. He comments on not buying bonds because he is worried that after the war he will need the money and the bonds will be frozen. He also mentions the prisoners of war in Italy and doesn't understand why, if they are no longer considered prisoners, they aren't sent home.
