One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated September 14, 1944. He received their last letter that contained photos of the family while Jessie Hollis was visiting. He loved the photos and is so happy to receive them. He also received some photos from Eddie Zell of him and a bunch of the girls from Harrisburg. He mentions that Jessie Hollis looks heavier in her photos, but not to tell her that, and the kids all look older as does the dog. Bertha Hutton and Melinda Graeff look good. He once again expresses sympathy for Edith Hutton, and hopes she gets better quickly.
