Hello,
Today I again had opportunity to celebrate Christmas of 1942, for my package from Bryant Service Club at last reached me.
Although the contents of chocolate covered cherries squashed into an unrecognizable mass mere far from being edible, yet I was able to enjoy receiving the package and the spirit that prompted it. Let me tell you that it’s when one gets in a foreign country like this that he appreciates others’ nice thoughts and good wishes.
To the Club and its workers, I wish to say thanks. What you are doing may seem to be trivial to you, but to us who receive the product of your time and effort, this means a great deal.
Don’t know what Emily Post or any authority on correct etiquette for writing a “thank you” note would say about the informality of this note to a club, but I feel as if I am writing to an intimate friend, and have to write accordingly. May the Service Club prosper during the year, and here’s to it, that the war will soon end so that it might fold up its worthwhile [?].
Sincerely yours,Leo S. Harrington ‘37

Hi there,
Received your letter of March 14th today - - - a little delayed, but that caused, no doubt, to my change in address.
Nice to hear of all the boys and instructors [receiving ?] their commission in the services. As for myself, I’m still a private and will probably still be for six months plus, having no desire to be an officer, but wish to be a good private, for after all, privates are the workers, and officers really need someone to back their efforts.
Just reread that last paragraph and have almost [?] myself of its contents. Seriously, I think that they should be congratulated for their work, and more power to them.
At present I’m doing some rather interesting personnel work, but after [?] that, I can say no more…you’ll understand the reason.
As for receiving packages - - we receive practically everything we need right here…cigarettes at special rates and such, but I’d give almost anything to get ahold [sic] of a tin of salted peanuts. That’s one thing we cannot get here…the locals variety tastes as if they were cooked in castor oil, so if you care to send a package this way, I’d be quite appreciative. Regards to the Club and best of luck in your efforts.
Sincerely yours,Leo S. Harrington ‘37

Gentlemen:
Today I received my copy of the Bryant Alumni Bulletin, and to be truthful, it was almost as good as a letter from home.
Before my induction into the Army on October 3rd, 1942, I never realized how much good mail can do for a person away from home, but I’ve learned through experience.
Since coming to Camp Pickett, I’ve attended Clerk’s School…finishing the course last Friday. I expect to be here for 3 or 4 more weeks before being assigned to a permanent unit…where, I do not know.
Army work and life are quite different from my civilian status as a Social Worker for the City of New Bedford, but fortunately my civilian position awaits my return after the war is over.
I correspond frequently with Sgt. Joseph A. Lenorseur (?) who is stationed at Fort Bragg, No. Carolina, and the last I heard from Pvt. Milton Rosen, ’37, he was in California.
I shall again look forward to the next issue of the Bryant Bulletin.
Sincerely yours, Pvt. Leo S. Harrington, ‘37 [Transcription ends

Hello,
I received a letter from my mother a week ago in which she told me that you had sent a package to me, and had not yet received any acknowledgement for the gift.
I’m really sorry that there has been such a delay, but as yet I have not received the gift. Since I last wrote, I have had a change of address and my mail since December 1st has been more or less fragmentary, but eventually I expect it all to catch up with me, and in the meantime all I can do is [?].
Despite the fact that I have not as yet received the package, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your kindness in thinking of me and the other boys in the service it somehow makes you feel good way down inside, and when I do receive the package I shall gladly acknowledge it.
Due to security reasons, I am unable to tell you of where I am or the type of work I am doing, so please excuse the lack of details until after we’ve won the war in the , I hope, not to distant future.
Again, thanks for your kindness, and the best of luck to your worthwhile efforts.
Sincerely yours, Leo S. Harrington ‘37 [Transcription ends
