One letter from Leonard Eugene Graeff to Susan Prowell Graeff and Raymond James Graeff dated March 24, 1945. He complains about his mail now being delivered to his shop instead of a main shop. He received a letter from Russell Brady explaining where he, and what he is doing. He also received a box from Dottie Erickson. She sent cookies, Hershey bars and an Easter card. He received letters from Robert Winemiller, Marguerite Graeff, Mary Mrs. Moyer, and a box from Edna Klopp. He thanks Susan for the photographs she sent, and asks who is on the steps in front of the house. He also inquired about pictures of the Fencils he had sent to them. He sent a money order to go into his account and asked for them to take care of it.
