Dear Chairman:

I received your welcome news bulletin printed in fraternity rush week today. Thanks very much. It's always nice to get those bulletins and learn what the old gang is doing. Too bad Mr. Appleby's health forced him to take a rest. I'll bet Mr. Naylor is a proud father who has at last ended his bachelor days.

Things are humming over here in France. It's too bad the towns are so badly bombed that very little of the Old World grandeur is left except what is reflected by a few churches.

As for myself, I am fine and looking forward to the day when the Bryant Placement Bureau can help me find a post war position!

Best wishes
Charles Crocker Jr.

Gentlemen:-

It just occurred to me that it might interest you to know that alumnus Charles E. Crocker, Jr., was some weeks ago transferred from England to France and his address now is

Cpl. Charles E. Crocker, Jr., 31060712
GFRS Replacement Pool, APO 776
c/o Postmaster, New York, N.Y.

His letters written before December 10 stated that he was in the best of health. We do not know where in France he is or in which part of England he was stationed for a few months.

Very truly yours,
Char. E. Crocker.

Dear Mr. Chairman,

Thanks for the Service package of goodies received yesterday. The whole barracks as well as myself enjoyed them very much.

We have plenty of dances and U. S. O. Camp Shows down here but right now, Narragansett Bay would be far more desirable. We are 300 miles from the Atlantic Ocean at Savannah.

I extend best wishes to the Club for the fine work they’re doing.

Dear Chairman:

Thanks for the swell box of “eats” that I received today from the Bryant Service Club. It certainly was appreciated by the barracks gang as well as by the writer!

Two weeks ago, I saw Lieutenant Nathaniel Lipschitz just after he had graduated at the Infantry School. He well deserved his bars as it was a stiff course. I guess you know that Lieutenant Lipschitz taught accounting during 1940 – 1941 serving as “lab” instructor.

Thanks again for the candy.

Yours truly
Cpl. Charles Crocker, Jr.

Dear Chairman:

Again I was the recipient of a box of goodies from the Bryant Service Club. It’s mighty gratifying for us fellows in the service to realize that our Alma Mater stands in back of us to cheer and help us along. The Service Club has taken a splendid means of keeping up our morale and to let us know that you are behind us fellows.

I wish you every success in your fine undertaking.

Yours sincerely

My dear Chairman:

It was with a great deal of pleasure that I received your welcome box of candy. The idea of a Bryant Service Club was certainly the inspiration of someone who knows how nice it is and how it helps to make a fellow work when he knows the folks back home are thinking of him.

I know your Club will be a great success and you and the entire Club have my best wishes.

Yours truly

Dear Chairman:

Thanks for the candy that the Bryant Service Club sent me. I assure you that it is very much appreciated not only by myself but of my buddies in the barracks with me!

I guess that everyone in Bryant is having their yearly worry as to whether they passed the final exams or not. Here’s good luck to all of you.

Best wishes
