Two letters, both dated June 8th from brothers.
Letter #1
Dear Folks...We were supposed to play ball again today but we were blown off. I hope it doesn’t rain to much now so that the field is bad…We sure are having fun here. Gee it’s swell… We eat cold breakfast now and sometimes I get hamburgers or else we go out…Our jobs are both going swell…I sure hope I get a rating soon. The extra dough will come on handy this winter…Say I haven’t look up for that Lt. but I checked to see if any boys from Duluth were in the hospital. There isn’t any and there is only a couple from Minn. One from Chisolm, and one from St. Paul. We’re planning to go trout fishing up the canyon…Your son Rob.
Letter #2
Dear Mom & Dad…the correct address like you asked for is 118 South West, Brigham City, Utah…I hope you don’t think it is a small town and we have to pick up our mail because they have two deliveries a day, only thing different about the mail men is - they ride bikes delivering the mail…work is coming along just fine and Bobby and I are sure having a swell time… Love ___
