One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated January 3, 1944. Leonard writes that he received a letter from Malinda Bayler that Susan is sick. He inquires what she has, and how she is feeling. He asks where Raymond is as Malinda wrote he was out of town. He encourages Susan to take it easy and rest so that she gets better. He mentions that New Years was a loud celebration at camp. He mentions that his last weekend wasn't as quiet as he thought it would be. He had to stand guard twice, and went to a movie on Saturday and a variety show on Sunday. He writes that the variety show was hosted by Eddie Peabody, the banjo player on Uncle Ezra's show. Peabody is now a commander at the base and is in charge of recreation. He mentions hearing from Dottie, who wrote that she was going to see Susan on Monday. He also mentions that he got promoted to a different rank. It is the same pay but another stripe.
