One letter from Robert Winemiller to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated December 22, 1943. Robert mentions mail has a long transit time to reach him. He returned from a six day "problem" to Leonard's last letter. He mentioned that he may not be at his current location much longer but will let Leonard know his new posting. He comments that Leonard has trouble with women, and it sounds like they’ll be bachelors together. He mentions that he hasn’t seen a good orchestra in a while. Robert hopes to get leave on New Year’s. He’s not sure when he will be going to O.C.S. (Officer Candidate School) if ever, and asks Leonard to write.
