Weiner, Sylvia, 1912-2008

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Morris "Moe" Weiner

Sylvia says that while she is convinced that Moe has confidence in her judgment in regard to the use of the car; she has always felt that the car and its use must be subject to his okay. Says she still might be able to get a "B" gasoline ration because of her Draft Board work. Reports on friends. She found out that Moe did not receive her package that was filled with rolls of film for him. She knows that the package wasn't against regulations but someone must have opened it and took the film, which was very hard to get.

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Morris "Moe" Weiner

Sylvia Reports on family. She went to the Selective Service Board. Talked about the draftees they have seen and the hard job that the Board has had and the toll it's taken on their health. Had a series of "screwballs" in Intake at work. One 82 year old man had an idea for ending the war in three months. Take Plaster of Paris up in a plane, drop it on the Germans and "Japs," pour water on them and they will all turn to stone.

Title: to Morris "Moe" Weiner

V-Mail. Sylvia claims it was a lovely day and a little warmer. Still has no mail from Moe. Reports on friends he asked about in one of his last letters. Had to interview someone at work, between the malcontents who are all that is left at work [seeking aid from the NYC Welfare Department] and the psychotics at the draft board "she is really getting it."

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Morris "Moe" Weiner

Sylvia is concerned that Moe is kept informed of current issues and hopes he is receiving the subscription to PM that she sent to him. Talks about what is going on in Congress. Was supposed to go out today [Saturday] and hand out leaflets to the public about the $60.00 increase this year for Department of Welfare employees. The leaflets were never given to her; and it was too cold to go out and distribute them anyway.
