Correspondence from Cpl. Leo Volz to Ann Ruxer. He begins by telling her how much he likes her letters and that he hopes she's still writing them. He won't be home until after the war is over and he is alive, because some body [sic] has to fight this war. You know we can't all be U.S.O. soldiers like some of the guys back there. He bets those guys will have some big stories to tell after the war and they weren't even out of the states. He says his (twin) brother Leander always tells their mother how hard he had to fight, but that he knows nothing about war is like. Just wait until he (Leo) and brother Martin come home--they will really be able to tell the truth. He asks if she knows where he is, and suggests that if she asks him about a couple of places in her next letter, he might be able to tell him (presumably a reference to censorship). This letter was S.W.A.K. NOTE: these correspondents will marry, and were married 53 years at his death in 2000. (Factually, Leander was killed in action on February 14, 1945 and was buried at the Luxembourg American Cemetery. Leo and Martin survived the war and died in 2000 and 1981, respectively.)
