Containers:

1, 2, 4

Scope and content:

9 letters.

Many of his July letters concern his wife and family: their marriage, their future, his wife's attitude, her criticism of the number of letters he's written, her health, the death of his mother-in-law and how his son will react to him. In his July 18 letter he is still attached to the 470th Engineers and on detached service to the 511 Engineer Depot, but on July 29 and 31, he states that he has been transferred to the 237 Combat Engineers, attached to the 1st Army, where the high point men are and everyone talks of going home. He mentions a silk "tactful military" map that he sent her. Clippings included with July 27 and 31 letters.
