Hello,

Thank you so much for the box you sent. It was both lovely and delicious and met the right spot with several people.

The address is the same as it has been for a year and I’m expecting it to remain that way for awhile longer.

I do hope those in the farthest places received your packages in time for Christmas and enjoy them as much as I did mine.

Sincerely,

Virginia Besaw

Hello,

Received your box of candy and it certainly is appreciated. Nothing like packages for morale building.

It’s ever so good to hear of the fellows coming home who weren’t expected back. Here’s hoping more of them do the same.

Sincerely,

Dear Club Members--

How nice to hear from you! Your letter pleased me in letting me know I was included in the Bryant Club. I received your package and it was most welcome--by me and others in the barracks.

You might like to know that the Post Office has inquired about another package from you, addressed to me, of which only the label was received. It was not from the same box I received as the insurance numbers were different.

It was indeed good to hear again of the people I used to know--Lt. Hammond, Miss Krupa and others--and to hear of the safety of some of the alumni. Would that they could all return!

My army life is yet too new to include any exciting experiences, but I have enjoyed every minute of it. My assignment as a member of cadre will, I believe, keep me here at the Post for quite some time. Your “newsy” letters will keep me posted on the happenings at Bryant while I am away.

Thank you again for your gift, and Merry Christmas to you all.

Sincerely,

Virginia Besaw, ‘38
