Dear Bryant Service Club Members,

Thanks very much for the Easter package. It was a bit late in getting to me; but, “Better late than never”. It was a surprise, and a very pleasing one.

After graduating from the Army Administration School in Fargo, North Dakota, I was assigned to the 325th Fighter Squadron at Richmond, Virginia. After a month, I was transfered [sic] to my present unit.

I wish to congratulate you on your fine work. Keep it up.

Sincerely,
Edward J. Strybuc

My address is:

Pfc Edward J Strybuc 31290385

Fargo, N. D.
23 December 1943

Dear Bryant Service Club:

The last time I have was in April, long, long ago. I hope, from now on, you'll hear more often from me.

I left my first camp, Fort Devens, Mass., in August and arrived at "The Playground of the World," Miami Beach, Florida, where I underwent three weeks and two months of basic training. Now I'm at North Dakota State College, Fargo, N. D. where I'm studying Army Administration.

The course is dry and tiresome, almost like the B. A. course at Bryant (ahem). In order to keep our interest, the teachers, officers, tell us a few jokes now and then. There are about fifty subjects that range from five to twenty five hours, in this course. Some of the subjects are: typewriting, filing, military correspondence, courts-martial proceedures [sic], pay and allowances of military personnel, and others. Oh, yes, my grades; they're fair.

No shortage of food here. We get the best and all we can eat. One serving usually suffices.

I really enjoy hearing about the activities and changes at Bryant. It makes me wish to be back there. While at Fort Devens, I used to meet newly inducted Bryant men and always asked them what changes took place at the college since I left. I had the opportunity of meeting Mr. Lambert when he was inducted at Fort Devens. I even saw him off on the train when he left the camp.

Keep up the good work you are doing.

Sincerely
Pvt. Edward J. Strybuc

Dear Bryant Service Club:

Thanks for the Christmas gift. I have received it yesterday. Considering the trip it took to Fort Devens, Mass., to Miami Beach, Fla. and then, here; I received it in good condition.

On January fifty, I’m graduating from this school, and will be sent to my new post. When I arrive to my new station, I will send you a card and my new address.

I have applied for a furlough and if I get it, I’ll pay a visit to Bryant.

Sincerely
Pvt Edward Strybuc
