Gentlemen:
Please accept my apology in not acknowledging your very thoughtful Christmas gift. I not only received it a few days before Christmas but also in good condition. The only excuse I can give is that your “Uncle Sam” has been keeping me very busy these days—classifying the selectees that pass through our Reception Center here at Ft. Devens.
Sincerely yours, Edmund J. Mastrovito [Transcription ends

HEADQUARTERS THIRD ARMY Office of the Commanding General
Fort Sam Houston, Texas 30 December, 1943
SUBJECT: Receipt of Gift
TO : Bryant Service Club, Bryant College, Providence, Rhode Island
1. Greetings and Good Wishes for the New Year!
2. I am very sorry that I have to be tardy in acknowledging receipt of your gift package of cigarettes. I am sure, however, that you will forgive me as you know our time is not our own.
3. How are all my good friends at Bryant? I should like to take this opportunity to wish them all a Very Happy New Year. I should be very grateful to you if you would extend my wishes for the New Year to all the boys (and the girls) in the Services in your next Bryant Service Club Letter.
4. It is a beautiful day in San Antonio--just like one of those New England spring days. In spite of the wonderful weather here in Texas, I will be very happy to return to New England.
5. Those of you who were at Bryant when Professor Doug Hammond was there will be interested in knowing that he and I had dinner together on many occasions when he was stationed at Randolph Field which is not far from San Antonio. We enjoyed talking about the “good ole days” at Bryant. (Were your ears burning?) By the way, the steaks we consumed were delicious. (Are you mouths watering?) That was mean, but I could not help it--it just slipped out.
6. Au revoir and thank you very much for remembering me. I really enjoy hearing from you as it keeps me posted on what happens at Bryant.

Hello Everybody,
It was swell to hear from you again and I was certainly glad to hear about Bill Aguiar 40 who used to chum with me back in the good old days. As yet your gift hasn\u27t arrived, but it will be transferred from my old station. I\u27ll acknowledge it as soon as it arrives.
The news from Bryant was very interesting & I hope I\u27ll hear from you again. Best of luck to you all.

Hello Bryant:
Have received the long letter from Bryant Service Club + was sure glad to hear from you all. Have just returned back to camp from a 7-day furlough. Am still somewhat weary from the long train ride, but never too weary to hear from Bryant College.
The Bryant Service Club is sure doing a wonderful job + I appreciate the cigarettes you sent me for X-mas. Wish I could put into words my feeling of appreciation. I’m sure many of our boys have for higher moral because a Bryant Service Club exists. All I can say is keep up the swell work. We soldiers sure appreciate it.. especially the letters letting us know what goes on at Bryant. Nick Coracci’s words go for me also.
I note that some of our faculty is now serving Uncle Sam, that the courses have been changed somewhat to fit in with our war effort. Things sure do change. I enjoyed reading your letter + hope to hear again from you all very soon.
As ever, Corp. Laurence Italiano
P.S. Am now in the Finance Section. Payroll is our biggest job + worry.

Hello Everybody,
Thanks very much for the package. I received it just before I left for the states and it was very welcome.
Your letter was extremely interesting although the news I regret to say was very dismal. I was sorry to hear about Charlie Nofal and Oscar Frechette as well as the others. Oscar and I played basketball together and Charley was by far one of the most brilliant graduates of Bryant.
I\u27m now in England where life is rather gay and every day brings forth new adventures. Thanks for your interesting letters and keep me posted.
Good Luck.Sam!

Bryant Service Club:
Thank you very much for your recent “newsie” letter. It was entertaining + greatly appreciated.
I also want to thank you for the “flat-fifties”. At the time I received them I was about to be transferred + this is the first opportunity I’ve had to acknowledge them.
You all know what the V-12 Program is and my particular job was to more or less commission the office + to get the personnel work “squared away” – That, is just about finished now.
Keep up the good work,
Sincerely, Sam Fox, Yeoman 2nd Class (why I’ll never know) [Transcription ends

Bryant Service Club,
I received your package which was forwarded to me from my last post. It arrived on the heels of two other packages this week, but, nevertheless, it was highly welcomed.
After the strenuous existence of the basic training center, I am enjoying a comparatively cloistered life here at Sam Houston State Teachers College. I am assigned to an 8 week course in Army Administration.
A good percentage of the students in my company were called to active duty from the following New England Colleges: Brown, B. U., Holy Cross, Conn. State, N. H. State, and Manhattan College in N. Y.
My stay here had nearly reached its full-mark, and wherever my next post and assignment may be, a gift from Bryant Service Club will be appreciated.
