Tolbert writes from New Guinea and then the Southwest Pacific. His letters mention his loneliness, sadness, and jealousy over Clennell. Although unclear, Tolbert's tone toward Clennell is at times full of machoism and violent language. Tolbert's letters also include his observations of a local New Zealand performance, which includes derogatory language. Most notable in this file is a business card with the name of "Ensley Loan Company" on the front and "Special Hunting License on Yellow Belly Japs: Season opened December 7, 1941 (No Limit), Good until extermination." on the back. It is included in the January 21, 1944 letter. The January 27, 1944 letter includes a newspaper clipping of a soldier's joke.
