Scope and content:

This folder contains five letters postmarked form Fort Sill and Lawton, Oklahoma. The first describes Janet's trip aboard, Jeffersonian and Pullman trains to Lawton, and her stops along the way. Janet and fiance Ray have discussed moving up their wedding date up two months to avoid being separated for six months, or risk Ray receiving an untimely transfer to possibly a much smaller post, and starting their marriage there. She mentions that a married First Lt.'s pay is $282.00 per month. In the January 5th letter, Janet runs out of ink and finishes the letter with her eyebrow pencil. The remainng letters describe the leisure activities available, as well as lack of variety, and Janet's immpression of life on a military base.
