..."Hello it’s me". Don't panic. The green ink will be back. He's got this new job that gives him time to miss Mom but not to retrieve the bottle left in the barracks. Having books would help although they do keep him quite
This is sort of a new guard detail. He's got a new task. A comfortable dug out. Plus an update on the shipwreck. I wonder if this falls under the category of "idle gossip that sinks ships". But how else is he going to fill up
There is everything lining the shore. Really bad storm brings a shocker. It's even making the front page of the paper. And no, he did not run into the Nahant nitwit. It's just not something you see everyday. He's not very open minded either.
Town turns out to give draftees a big sendoff UPDATE (8/13/2016): I emailed the Natick Historical Society a while back about the 4/6/1942 letter (https://www.dearaudrey.org/april-6-1942-dear-audrey/) where Dad mentions the local paper getting a picture of them "marching&
When things are darkest and the task insurmountable... This letter will start today and will finish tomorrow. He just doesn't have anything nice to say about Battery H. Apparently, it's a fitting punishment for traitors. Anyway, if one side is bologna, what's the other

Usually I get stuck for all the bad details... How about a happy-go-lucky outing - this one sounds fun. About 20 miles down to Boylston. What a ride. And what are the odds the place they stop for lunch serves drinks. uh. He deserves some fun. People are out
There isn’t any organ but what do you want. Salt in your beer? Well, I think she should send the pic back to Elmer and look to the future. It's laundry day every day now thanks to Mom. He calls the summer outfits the "sun tans&
I went up tonight and took out some Insurance. He's already sent one letter off today but it's evening and who wants to study when you can write to your best girl. And figure out the next pass. No more messing around - fellows are getting in
Send me a little money when you get some. Mom's just a big bully - lol. Poor Dad :| This letter might be quite boring if the only news is the scab on your head fell off. He is back to looking like Sterling Hayden - "The Most Beautiful Man
It is getting close to noon and so I’m looking for my relief. He's got a wife he loves more than anything and what sounds like the best guard duty around. He's on Nahant walking the beach. The threat of being sent away looms everyday
