Dear Chairman—This is to inform you of my new address and as you can see I am no longer in Boston Mass. Right now I am located somewhere in North Africa where the days are warm and the nights cool. It was a pleasant journey and I can assure you that N. Africa is a beautiful country. I send my regards to all the members of the club and thank you all again for your remembrance at various times during my Army Career. Any news of interest at times would be greatly appreciated. Best of luck to you all.

HELLO BRYANT SERVICE CLUB:
WAS GREATLY PLEASED TO RECEIVE YOUR LATEST NEWS BULLETIN BUT WASN’T PLEASED WITH ALL THE NEWS THAT IT CONTAINED. I RBOMED [sic] WITH CHARLIE NOFAL IN WHAT WE CALLED “TOWER HOUSE” AND I NEVER EXPECT TO MEET A FINER FELLOW.
IT SURE SEEMED GOOD TO HEAR ALL THE OLD NAMES WHICH BROUGHT BACK PLEASANT MEMORIES. EUGENE SCHMIDT, JOHN BANNAN AND THE OTHERS WERE ALL AT BRYANT AT THE TIME I WAS AND OF COURSE MR. LAMBERT WAS ONE OF OUR PROFESSORS.
YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT I HEARD A GERMAN RADIO PROGRAM AND THEY WERE READING SOME PRISONER’S LETTERS TO THE STATES AND ONE OF THEM WAS FROM BUSS FRECHETTE TO HIS MOTHER. I AM TRYING TO GET A LETTER THRU TO HIM NOW. HE WAS OVER HERE AWHILE BUT I NEVER COULD FIND HIM.
I AM SORRY TO HEAR THAT MR. RIPLEY HAS RESIGNED AS I CAN VOUCH FOR THE FACT THAT HE WAS EVERYBODY’S FAVORITE- - HE FOUND ME MY FIRST, AND LAST AS IT TURNED OUT, JOB IN PROVIDENCE.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING FROM BOB CONNORS, CLASS OF ’42? HE WAS A GREAT PAL OF MNE AND I HAVE LOST TRACK OF HIM. I CORRESPOND WITH DON FIFIELD ALSO ’42 AND ANDRE WETZLER, HIS FIANCEE [sic], WHO IS A WAVE.
HOPE TO SEE THE STATES SOMETIME THIS YEAR AND I WILL SURELY DROP IN FOR A VISIT. THANK FOR THE XMAS PKG.
YOURS TRULY, Courtland R. Burnham, Jr. ‘41

Dear Sirs:
In answer to your recent letter, I wish to inform you that my son has received your generous package. Because of his many duties the acknowledgement must have slipped his mind. I wish to thank you for being so thoughtful to him during his period of service with the army.
He has been promoted to 1st Lieutenant, other than that your address is correct.
Very truly yours, Mrs. V. R. Deignan [Transcription ends

Dear Club Members:
Just a line or two to express my appreciation and acknowledgement for the Christmas gift which I received several days ago. If all Bryant grads appreciated the gift as I did, you[r] work is not in vain, as you\u27re doing a swell job.
To all those who still remember me, I send my best regards, and hope this conflict ends soon, so that we may all enjoy one of those Alumni and Graduation Proms at the Biltmore.
Thanks again,
I remain,C. DickenmanC. Dickenman \u2741[Transcription ends

Dear Members of the Bryant Service Club:
This is just a short letter to thank you for the package I received. I know I am late in writing this letter, but I do want to tell you how much I appreciate it.
Irving Hochman and I are still together as we have been since we came into the army. Jimmie Dunn and Al Barslow are over here also and we expect to meet them soon.
We don’t get much news of school, but I hope it hasn’t changed any. How is Tau Epsilon? Still tops I hope. Regards to all.
Sincerely, Jimmie [Transcription ends
