Correspondence between Norma Strong and William F. Deacon before they were married and while he was serving in the Army in Germany.

(Missdated February 6, 1955) Really focused on time left, platoon party coming up, but not planning on attending after last one, comments that Dave is attending a lot of basketball games.

Three weeks left until discharge, contributed to Red Cross on last pay day since they helped get his furlough extended when his dad was sick.

Miserable weather, he had a cold, thank you for birthday card, hopes to be out of the army by April 25, surprised she resigned from W.T. Grant.

Orders have come in, but he hasn' seen them and doesn't know exact date, just told that his boat is leaving April 4, happier than he's been in two years.

Writing for a few minutes while packing, leaving tomorrow morning, letter to sister-in-law returned because he wrote "Manchester" (where Norma was from) instead of "Simsbury."
