Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "28 June 1945

Dear Dad:

I know this letter will come as a surprise, and I also realize that I should have written sooner, but since Monday I have been swamped with work and was unable to write until now. I also thought of sending a wire but during these times I dislike that form of communication very much as that is the form used by the Navy Department for informing the next of kin of the death of someone in the service.

The whole thing is that I was married last Saturday to Miss Eleanor Wright of Chicago Ill.

I have known her since last October and I believe I mentioned the fact I intended to marry her in one of my previous letters. I believe that I thought the whole thing out very carefully and do not think"
