 File — Box: 1, Folder: 4

Scope and Contents

Item is a letter from Veramay Spencer to her boyfriend Kenneth L. Wright who was serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. Veramay starts off the letter by telling Wright how relieved she was to have received a letter from him. She writes that it has been very frustrating for her knowing that he is in that horrible environment. Veramay reassures Wright that he will survive and tells him that she loves him. Veramay says her heart is about to break knowing that he is so far away. She asks him why they positioned him in a place where he was not trained to be. She jokingly calls him Mr. Ratface and tells him not to call her Stinky ever again. She tells him that she is baby-sitting a 12 year whose parents are away in Tennessee for a funeral. Veramay tells Wright that she will send him money in case he might need it in the future. She ends the letter by asking him what the doctor said about his neck pain.
