Dear Sirs: Just a short note to tell you of my change of address. I've been waiting for something like this to happen but it came quickly. That's how the army works. I'm here at Iowa U. and have been assigned to study Language. Have been assigned for Polish but from the rumor about it [it] is suppose [sic] to be an Asiatic Language. That will be rather hard. The past week I was stationed at Pasadena Junior College. This was a refresher course. We were to be there a maximum of 27 days. They sure worked on us fast. Send my regards to all.

It was nice of you to remember the former occupant of Gardner Hall. Thank you very much for the very fine box of candy. Spence Field is still my address, probably one of the few on your list that has not changed. I had hopes of seeing China but I guess that is all that I will have. George I am having fun playing railroad president. One locomotive and a little over a mile of track. Thank you again. Yours, Doug Hammond [Transcription ends] F.

The commendable work you are doing may seem like a very small task, but its effect is certainly invaluable, to say the least. It's unfortunate that you are not able to see the joy and happiness that such thoughtfulness brings to these boys who are making many sacrifices to bring this conflict to an end. The value of the gift does not bring greater or lesser joy to these boys. Oh, no! It's just knowing that the people at home are not forgetting us and the hardships and perils that servicemen encounter in war. This is what gives us a greater spirit and courage to overcome these things and attain our objective. Let me assure you that the boys will never forget the very good work you are doing. Please keep up the good work especially now when victory is close at hand. In closing, please accept my thanks for the beautiful sweater that I was so fortunate to receive from the Bryant College Service Club. Yours very truly Patrick J. Fallon Pfc. P. J.

I. 18 Feb 45 Am very sorry I haven't acknowledged receipt of your nice Christmas package sooner. It arrived in perfect condition and it helped morale a lot to know that someone was still remembering us fellows in the service in spite of the fact we are strangers to them. As usual we are very busy here. I am working in the Personnel office and my splendid training at Bryant is still helping me out. I will never forget the fun I had while I was there in 1938 - 40. Time passes so quickly that it is hard to realize I have almost completed 3 years of Army life. Hope it doesn't hit six years. Thanks again for the package you sent. Sincerely, S/Sgt. A. F.
