One letter from Natalie Roleists to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated November 28, 1943. Natalie writes that Mrs. Stouffer asked her to send the photos they took when Leonard was home on leave. She inquires how Chicago is, and hopes he gets in to visit when he has time. She ordered a record "I'll be Around" by the Mills Brothers and is waiting for it to arrive. She received a Christmas card from Wayne that he must have sent while he was in England as it is marked "made in Britain." She also received a letter from Moyer who does not like where he is stationed. In a post script, she asks if Leonard saw the Great Lakes, Notre Dame football game.
