One letter from Dorothy K. Runk to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated December 3, 1943. Dotty writes that she was surprised to hear from Leonard. She writes that Robert Winemiller is in Arizona on desert training. Marion is attending school in St Louis, Missouri. If he wants to visit her though he should write first. She heard about the Notre Dame vs Great Lakes football game and would have liked to see it. She reports that she wasn't at "The Toddle" for the first time in years because her date got shipped out. She writes that June has become engaged, and tells Leonard not to worry there are still plenty of single girls.
