One letter from William J. Myers to Mary Rose Myers dated December 10, 1942. William writes that he is broke and asks Mary Rose to send him some money. He also lets her know that he starts school on Monday. While he would love to see her he will only be free about 3 hours a day, so it is up to her if she wants to visit. He says that if she does visit she should be sure to visit her relatives and Ray. William signs the letter as "Tex."
