Scope and content:

This folder contains ten letters, one of which is addressed to Marland Williams, Janet's younger brother. The Bryan's new lodging is close to the highway; Janet describes how the "house shakes all over" when tank divisions pass by as they do on a frequent basis. There is a new group commander at camp unhappy with his assignment and is making work more difficult for everyone under him. He has set his mind to derank Colonel Davis and relieve him of his command. Janet describes living jointly with the Wilsons in one household, her experiences so far with pregnancy, and her first check up. The Bryans celebrated their fiirst anniversary with going to dinner, seeing a movie, and subscribing to a Book of the Month club. Ray has been changed to C Battery, a firing battery, to his delight. Robbie Wilson's parents are staying with them to visit for a few weeks. January 24th letter includes an ad for shoes torn from a magazine that Janet requests her mother to purchase for her. The reverse of the magazine scrap depicts an ad for Meds feminine sanitary products. Janet discusses plans for traveling home pregnant or with the baby on the occasion when Ray is sent overseas.
