One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated August 11, 1944. He updates them on his day so far, and asks if they have figured out what he mentioned happening in Hawaii in a previous letter (GLC09611.347). He mentions that he put his name in the register at the U.S.O. and saw a few others from Harrisburg. He is giving up meeting with Thomas Gassert, as he is not on the same island. He also asks that when they send his watch and a new bracelet to get it insured so it has to be signed for and it won't go missing.
