Dear Friends:

I received your very nice Christmas gift of two Camel “”Flat” Fifty’s”. I know I shall enoy them as I have, others, in the pass. Thanks a million.

It is awfully nice of you folks at home, remembering our boys, who are unable to be home for Christmas, and don’t thing it isn’t appreciated.

Thanks again! Hope to see you all by next Christmas.

Sincerely
George J. Ross

July 18, 1943

Dear Folks

As usual I am way behind on my correspondence.

I received your very nice gift of cigarettes and put them to use immediately.

On the list of addresses I see you have my partner in crime in my Bryant days, Linc Bateson.

I found your letter most interesting an [sic] I am very proud of the record being made by Bryant men on all the battle fronts.

Thanks lots for the smokes, and so long for now.

Sincerely
George J. Ross

The Chairman of
The Bryant Service Club

Dear Sir:

Thank you for your most useful gift of two Camel 50’s. Your kindness and thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.

I recently celebrated my second anniversity [sic] as a soldier, having been inducted in Providence on March 18, 1941. I have seen a lot of the army since then.

Until recently I was located at Dale Mabry Field, Tallahassee, Florida, in the Finance Department, where I served in various capacities, culminating in my appointment as Assistant Finance Officer, upon my promotion to Warrant Officer on December 1, 1942.

However, my Uncle Sam had other plans in the making for this soldier. On February 1, 1943, I was transferred to the Finance Section at headquarters here in Tampa, Florida.

I remember well, my saying on several occasions that I would like to spend a winter in Florida. Little did I think my Uncle Sam would be the “fixer-upper” in that regard.

In your recent letter you mentioned Henry J. Lee as being a “Major.” I would appreciate your sending me his military address if you can.

Thanks again for the cigarettes and so long for now.

Sincerely,
George J. Ross
