- Scope and content:
This folder contains more personal letters from Captain, Ackerman to his wife from later on in his service in the Second World War. He describes his day to day activities at his station in England, including the number of missions he must complete before he is allowed to return to the states and a censored version of how the missions go. He discusses her life back in Florida and the family financials, and consistently tells her that her letters are the only thing that keeps his morale high. He makes the decision to stay in the armed forces after the war ends, but only if she is able to travel alongside him. The folder also contains an Easter greeting card Captain Ackerman sent Portia.
