One letter from Natalie Roberts to Leonard Eugene Graeff dated January 10, 1944. Natalie reports that she was sick on Christmas day. She is glad to hear that Leonard's training course is for sixteen weeks and not the usual twelve. She inquires if he will be doing any other schooling after the course. She mentions that Bernice went to Chicago to see Bruce before he was shipped out. Bernice told her it snowed when she was in Chicago. Natalie loves the snow but hates the cold. She also mentions that "Eggie" fell off a plane he was working on and broke his wrist. She also mentions some new records she bought.
