One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated January 11, 1945. He hopes that Susan is feeling better. He inquires if they received the Christmas menu he sent with his Christmas letter. He believes it may have been taken out due to insufficient postage. He has received nine more Christmas cards and a few letters. He updates them on his hair tonic and shampoo. He also inquired if they had talked to Ruth Riccruit. He was at a U.S.O. dance and saw a girl from Harrisburg, Arline, but does not remember her last name.
