One letter from Leonard Eugene Graff to Susan Prowell Graeff dated December 20, 1943. He inquires about the address of Avis formerly Kapp, and her husband. He couldn't remember their last name and asked Susan to put it on the included envelope for him. He asks Susan to use the envelope he sent so she doesn't pay for postage. He received the boxes and everything arrived safe; the gloves are a perfect fit, and he will write more later.
