One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated April 19, 1945. He hasn't heard from them in a while but wanted to share some news. He finally met up with Russell Brady and has been hanging around with him for a few days. He describes the difficulties Russell had in finding him and all that they have been doing since they have met up. He also mentioned Russell's wife Jeanne is living with her parents. Their last name is Coleman and they live in Harrisburg on North Summit St. He asks Susan and Raymond to give her a call and keep in touch with her for Russell, although Russell is writing letters. He also thanks them for Easter gifts and food that they sent. He mentions buying a radio on sale since it was damaged.
