One letter from Jules Grwoley to Richard Jerome Silbiger dated February 10, 1943. Jules writes that he is sorry to hear Richard was in the hospital and that he has managed to avoid it so far. He finished basic and has been classified as "Radio Repair," and pre-radar. He will be reclassified as radar as soon as it opens again as the rank has been closed for now. Jules mentions he has been on duty three times. He is now hiding in the service club to avoid digging ditches. This letter is written on Camp Crowder stationery.
