One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff, dated October 30, 1943. Leonard writes primarily his father surprised that his father wrote a letter to him. He likes the new pen, and asks again for his blue bag. They just got their Navy dress whites, they are very fancy and feel like a fifty dollar suit. Leonard writes that it doesn't feel like he's been in training that long, but he realized how much he learned watching a new company that just came in. He also mentions that his company got a banty rooster, a hen and a baby chick. The cleanest company in the battalion gets the rooster flag and the banty comes with it. His company was awarded the rooster four times, which is a record. He also mentions that Fuzz is going to Officer Candidate School.
