I am asking you to send me your present address... [and] I would apprreciate your writing us a few paragraphs telling us of
your particular duties and anything you think the other Extension men in the service and at home would like to hear about
you.. We plan to send a letter regularly to every man in the service telling him something of what we are trying to do back
home and of what all of your are doing for Victory in the armed forces."
