Size 0.5 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 220 items)
Abstract Letters, January-October 1943, from George Seibert in Marine Corps training at Camp Lejeune, N.C., and the Marine Corps Air Station at Cherry Point, N.C., to his wife Jean in West Hartford, Conn. Seibert, who progressed from private to staff sergeant during this time and took charge of warehouse accounting and distribution of supplies at Cherry Point, wrote chiefly about camp life--movies he saw, beer he drank, duties he performed--and arrangements for Jean's visits to North Carolina or his visits home to Connecticut. He also commented on Jean's activities in Connecticut, encouraging her to socialize more, but not too much, and wrote about his studies and visits to nearby towns, but gave little detail on either of these topics. Also included are a few letters to Jean from Seibert's friends.
