"Dear Laura:
Knew this note would delight you so am sending it on to you - It is nice to be thought of so many months after you have been apart - lots of the boys send you greetings and write of you - Gordon Sbarboro, among those recently. I have sent him your address, so expect a letter - will also put down your address in the NUSO, which doesn't always reach the ones who most desire it -
Know things are getting along fine there, often Bernie came in to report.
Love and luck, Connie."
Wow, I get the feeling that Connie struggles on the typewriter a little bit. She finally finds the period at the very end of the letter.
And the letter she forwarded?
Check it out right here -

Dear Madam
I would greatly appreciate it if you could supply me with the present address of Miss Laura Elizabeth Owens, former Senior Hostess at the Rockingham USO. I understand she was transferred elsewhere shortly after the A/B Division left the states.
I can safely sat there are a great many of us here in the Division who still remember the fine entertainment & grand times we had at your USO. They are indeed pleasant memories on dark nights in the jungles here.-
Sincerely,
Cpl. Wm. Proctor
