Mr. John Renza:

Dear Sir:

Please extend my sincere thanks to the Bryant Service Club for their kindness in sending some gift to my son. I can assure you he will be most grateful as will all the other boys in service.

You are doing a wonderful work and should be congratulated. It is acts like this that make Army and Navy life a lot easier for the boys.

May God bless you and help you in your work.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Margaret Rockford

Dear Sir,

I just received a package you sent to me at Hillsgrove. It had been moving around for quite a while but it arrived in perfect shape. It was a very nice package and I'd like to thank all the persons in the club who send these things to the men in service.

It was an unexpected pleasure to receive a package way over here. This is so far from everywhere that it is nice to receive something from home.

Sincerely yours,
George T. Latimer

Dear Sir,

I just received a letter from my mother saying that you had written her concerning the candy you sent me for Christmas. I’m very sorry you did not hear from me.

I received the candy at Mitchel Field, N. Y. after it had gone to Florida and back. I received it just before Christmas when I [was] just about to leave for home. I’m sure I wrote when I got back but there is a possibility I forgot because I’ve been jumping around quite a lot. I’ve been to Westover Field since and am now at Hillsgrove.

I would like you to know that I appreciate your sending the candy and hope you will forgive my forgetfulness if I did forget.

Sincerely yours,
George T. Latimer

Dear Sir,

I have just received your package and letter with the latest news from Bryant. I’d like to express my appreciation and thanks to you and all the members of the Bryant Service Club.

I am still down here at Hillsgrove but we have been requested to have our address listed a little differently. The one above is the way it should be.

Glad to hear that Mr. Shors and Mr. Hammond have received their commissions. I hope they do as well in the army as they did at Bryant. I’m sure they will.

From your letter, I can see that everyone is working hard. I know how they’ll feel in the summertime. Last summer, I was attending a radio school in St. Louis, which I believe is one of the hottest spots in the country. However, there were plenty of things to compensate for the heat. The people in St. Louis are very hospitable and go to great lengths to keep the boys happy. I believe it rates second to New England. I was out there and in the south for ten months so you can be sure it felt pretty swell to back home in New England. I don’t know how long I’ll be here but I intend to enjoy myself while I’m here.

I hope everyone did well in the exams as I’m sure everyone did (?).

Sincerely yours,
(Pvt.) George T. Latimer [Transcription ends]

Dear President;

My son has just received his first Alumni Bulletin and as he is in the service I am mailing it to him. I know he will be pleased to read it and will find many interesting articles in its pages. I would like to send you his change of address.
