Dear Members:
Thank you very much for the box of candy which I received a few days ago. It looked so good I couldn’t resist opening and eating it before Christmas.
I certainly was surprised after signing for an insured package to discover it was from Bryant.
Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Sincerely Yours,William Lentz

Gentlemen,
I received your package some time ago and as always in the Army it was nice to hear from New England. This radio course is much different from Bryant. I have been here three months and will be here for another six weeks. They called this the Radio University of the Air Corps but it is the first school I ever attended where I had to get up at 4.45 A.M.
Good luck in your enterprise.
C. Leonard Crawley ‘36
P.S. Give my regards to Mr. Gulski and Mr. Lee. [Transcription ends

Hello Bryant:
I received your bulletin and wish to express my appreciation for it. There’s a real warm spot in this body of mine set aside especially for Bryant & the swell times I’ve had there.
It seems that every bulletin I get has news of at least another of my former professors.
What is the latest information concerning Major H. J. Lee?
My congratulations to Mr. Naylor and I also hope that Mr. Appleby’s illness will soon be gone. I hope they remember me (Scott House ’40 – 41) as well as I remember them.
My best wishes to all at Bryant for a very pleasant New Year.
Sincerely yours, Bob Bergman ‘42

To My Friends of the Bryant Service Club:
I received your gift of candy while at Spokane, Washington, and was the most surprised and pleased soldier in camp. I am sorry that I did not let you know how much your Xmas gift was appreciated. You may hear this all the time but there are no words that I know of which can express my thanks. I will always be grateful to hear or read the news of the college, as I did in that letter received so very long ago.
I have been traveling at a great rate. Some 7000 miles I guess. Am now in the Signal Corps. Attached to the Air Force at Camp Williams, Wisconsin. Graduated from supply school, but because of my typing speed and the lack of teletype operators I was sent to a teletype school. Result is that I am now am operator of a teletype machine, waiting for my O.C.S. Application to go through the proper channels.
You might be interested to know that I saw Mr. Shors at the railroad station in his shiny, new uniform. He certainly looked in fine shape, and was as much surprised to see me as I was him. AI was also glad to hear that Mr. Lee is getting his commission, too. Congratulations, Mr. Lee; may we meet again.
I have not attempted to make this letter formal but have tried to make it sound as if I knew you. You never know how the fellows crowd around at mail call and their reactions afterwards. If you know of or hear of anyone in doubt about writing a soldier, why please set them on t he right road.
Thanks for being so kind to me, I will try to be deserving of it. Would you remember me to Mr. Gulski and Mr. Appleby and the others please.
A Very Glad Friend

Dear Nick,
Of course you don’t know me and wonder how I know your name. Well a Miss Julia Scott is my “Bryant Big Sister” and she mentioned in her letter that you were chairman of the Bryant Service Club.
Nick, would you please express my sincerest thanks to the Club for the cigarettes they sent me?
The little card enclosed in the package asked me to let you know if you had my address correct. The address that you have was correct until yesterday when it was changed to:
Sgt. Henry Babcock Hq & Hq Sqdn Prov. Serv. Gp. Army Air Base Fort Dix, N.J.
Again, may I say thanks and also offer my congratulations to the Bryant Students for their usual generosity and kindness.
Sincerely,
Henry Babcock [Transcription ends
