Dear Members:

This is to fully acknowledge your generous gift of cigarettes that I recently received from you. I must admit that I had almost forgotten my very nice days at Bryant, but you have served to bring them all back- very vividly once again.

One of the most amazing things that could happen to anyone in the Armed Forces has just happened to me! It all came in the form of one Joe Crawford of Norwich, Connecticut who graduated from Bryant in 1941! You can well imagine how much we have talked over Bryant days since we have met.

Both of us are now very anxious to find out what has been happening at Bryant lately. We would like to know where our fellow alumni are. Could you possible [sic] help us out in this matter.

We have heard of Lieutenant William Shors, Major Henry Lee, and the fact that Mrs Stickney has left you. What other news is there???

In closing, thank you again for your very, very kind thoughts as I truly appreciate them. Please let me hear some news of Bryant and Bryant Alumni.

Yours for Victory
Raymond E Marshall

Gentlemen:

Here’s expressing complete thanks for your generous gift of cigarettes which I received from you today. It is very nice to know that we, the Bryant Alumni, have not been forgotten by our Alma Mater and I want you to know that I am grateful.

Here’s to the complete success and longevity of the “Bryant Service Club” and may you be able to contact all Bryant Alumni in the Services as you did me. I know they will all appreciate your thoughts of them.

Yours for Victory

Gentlemen:

May I take this opportunity of thanking you for the generous offer of cookies that I received for Christmas.

I consider myself exceedingly, very fortunate to be able to be remembered by you while so many of my fellow alumni are overseas.

It’s my ardent hope, that you continue the Bryant Service Club and that you will be able to keep in contact with as many Bryant Alumni as possible – as I know that, they, as myself, appreciate your interest + correspondence with them.

Thank you again- and here’s for a Victorious New Year!!

Yours for Victory

Gentlemen,

Could you possibly send me all the back copies of “The Alumni Bulletin” for 1942 that have been printed to date.

I’d like to keep in contact with my fellow alumni of the Class of ’40 and you may have the present address of some of them.

In all events, please send me the information that you have as it will serve to make one’s stay in the Army Air Corps Technical Command very pleasant.

Yours for Victory...—
