On her July 12th letter, she writes on the back of a letter sent by Hazel's brother, Bob, to their parents about his Navy training and a visit to a friend. Her mother also includes a newspaper clipping about WACs leaving for training. Her July 21st letter expresses the desire of people on the homefront to contribute to the war and the beliefs people overseas hold about the homefront not contributing enough. In her July 22nd letter she discusses Roosevelt's re-election. Her August 17th letter mentions young men they know that are or will soon be deployed.
