One letter from Eddie Zell to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated October 25, 1943. Eddie writes to inquire when Leonard will be home from training at Great Lakes. He wants to make sure to get together. Eddie also mentions a few girls he knows and that he is thinking of calling Nancy and Bobby to set up dates for him. He mentions delivering mail all day in the rain. In a post script Eddie says that he and Bobbie haven't made up, it is too complicated for a letter but he will tell Leonard all about it when he is home.
