One letter from June Walter to Leonard Eugene Graeff, dated October 15, 1943. June writes that she just got back from a baby shower. The other guests were four married, three engaged and three single women. She says that their friend Fuzzy should drop Dottie and find a nice girl where he is. She updates Leonard on two other friends but doesn't know anything about others he asked after. She mentions that she is working the swing shift for the next two weeks and will be exhausted because of it.
