Containers:

14.0026 - Box 1, Folder 013

Scope and content:

This folder contains nine letters and one postcard. One of the letters is a short thank you note in response to recieving a sweater. The Bryans are now in Tyler, Texas. The availability of housing options is better than in Lawton. Janet is determined to be pickier and is staying in hotels or pay by the day rooms until she has found exactly the lodging she is looking for. These letters describe a wives' search for housing through the USO, Chamber of Commerce, and other methods including mention of costs and dead-ends. Janet visits the doctor multiple times with good reports of the baby, save that she is gaining too much weight. She also visits the dentist and finds that she has eight cavaties. Ray brings home a rumor that the 74th Field Artillery Batalion will be changed to the 574th Battlion so that they can get their missing battery. A few days later that is dismissed, there is news that their A battery, who've been in Alaska for a year, will be soon returning. Ray is lecturing to infantry schools.
