One letter from June Walter to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated September 29, 1943. June states, "things have been buzzin' so around here that I don't know 'which ends up.'" She would like to see his drills is excited to hear about his good marks on his tests. She mentions there being no dances lately but she did see a mutual acquaintance Pete Schlome on her way home from night school where she's taking Spanish and Math classes in effort to attend Penn State. She recounts seeing the film Cat People, and being on edge from it. Signed, "Junnie."
