One letter from Rhona Zeffert to Richard Jerome Silbiger, dated December 12, 1943. Rhona writes that Richard hasn't been a good friend as she had to hear about his marriage second hand, and get updates on him from other people. She says Arnold, who now goes by Allen, is at Tennessee-Eastman College. Herbert, is in Minnesota at college and is now a corporal. She reports that she has lost some weight, and at her last appointment the doctor said she was under weight. She says she has no plans to get married yet but is having fun. She hopes to see Richard and Dorothy soon and have a dinner with them.
