Letters from Janet C. Bryan to Parents, November 4, 1943-November 30-1943

Containers:

14.0026 - Box 1, Folder 009

Scope and content:

This folder contains eight letters postmarked from Lawton and Morro Bay. The Bryans return from Fort Sill to observe that a Marine base intended to be a school is being built only two blocks away. All mechanics have been "frozen" to work on the base that is planned to be completed December 1st. Janet discusses post-war plans and replies to her mother's questions about day to day life in the army. In the November 26 letter, the Bryans learn that the Navy is taking over the autocourt, and they have four days notice to find new housing and leave. An hour after they receive the news other wives call to offer the Bryans and Wilsons a place to stay.
