Amphibious Training Base
Little Creek, Va.

June 17, 1943

Hello Folks,

I just came back from a nice leave which ended all to [sic] soon and found your very nice gift of food which you sent to me.

I am still stationed here at Little Creek, Va. in the I.B.M. Department of the Amphibious Command.

My Bryant Training sure was a great thing, for you see I am working with Reports of all types which are sent to Washington every month.

My visit to Bryant while I was home was a pleasant one, it sure brought back memories. But this war sure has made many changes even there at school.

We are having some of the hotest [sic] weather down here I think that I have every [sic] seen. You just can’t keep anything dry.

Please keep up the good work and Thank you very much.

As Ever
George T. Matros

UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET
AMPHIBIOUS FORCE
TRAINING BASE
LITTLE CREEK, VA.

March 27, 1943

Dear Sir,

Your letter of March 15th arrived last week and it sure gave me a great deal of pleasure to receive it.

It has been quite some time since I last heard from the good old School.

I have been in the Service since August, and have been stationed here in Virginia since Oct. 10, 1942. I’ve been connected with this Amphibious Force ever since International Business Machines such as Tabulator, Interpretor [sic], Reproduce and key Punch, which is somewhat like an electric typewriter. You see we make all report of Changes for this Amphibious Training Program for this Eastern Seaboard.

You may know what this Force did a few months ago over in Africa, well you see just what our Commando’s are doing. Our men are being trained for Land, Sea + Air Combat Fighting. I sure whish I could tell you more about [?] this Base, but I know you will understand.

Since coming to Virginia I met a number of Bryant men in the same branch of the Service and we sure had some good old talks of our College days.

I want to thank you and all the members of your Service Club for sending me this letter and not only myself but for those boys who can’t write and tell you there where abouts. Please continue in doing this good work.

Yours Truly
George Matros
