Dearest Ned – Received you letter written the 28th today. Sure was good hearing from you – it always is Ned. Im feeling fine, except [text strikethrough] for being every tired. Im going to bed as soon as possible. How have you been? Are you taking good care of yourself. Its been a dull rainy day. It was really pouring when Norma and I went out this morning. After I wrote to you last night – we turned off the light – said our prayers – and tried to sleep. We talked until about 2:30 A.M. We got up at 6:30 this morning – had breakfast in the restaurant at the corner – and went to work. Ive been on the go all day long. I took Johnny, and went [Page 2] 2. shopping this morning. I got my Sister a big Easter basket – my Mother some candy and flowers – and Pop cigars. Of course I got Johnny and Charles a basket too. Shirleys, had to be something special tho’ – because today is her birthday. I went to a movie with Edith and Narda, this afternoon – we saw “National Velvet”. I enjoyed it every much. I got home here at about 9:30 – because I had a lot of running around to do. Stopped off at Coventry to get some ice-cream to go with the cake my Mom, had [text strikethrough]{bak} made for Shirley. I had ice-cream and cake when I got home – fooled around awhile – and here I am. Your Mother, ask me today if I still heard from Shorty. I guess because I was wearing my spring coat – with the insignia on it. She ask me what it was and I told her. I did’nt [Page 3] Tell her who sent it to me – she seemed to know. �Your Sister Edith, was telling me about the film you sent home. She said I could see the pictures when their ready. Ive got to wash my hair yet tonight Ned – take a bath – put my hair up – wash out a few things – and write to Jocie.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Ned my Dearest – Received your letter, written the 20th, today. You’ll never know how swell it is to come home and find a letter from you waiting for me, its wonderful. Its been swell all day, but its still a little chilly. Just as long as it dos’nt rain I guess I should’nt complain. Im feel-in fine, but am awfully tired. I stopped down to see Darie, after work tonight. She’s looking good, and is as pretty as ever. Still don’t see why you did’nt pick on her Aug. 27th, 1943. Im awfully glad you did’nt though, Darling. I met two of her boy friends, Don VanDock and Jimmy. She called Don—Don Juan Dock, a-hem! I got home at 8:45 tonight. I packed my Pops lunch, had something to eat, and then called Norma. We talked for over an hour. Her mother was playing the piano for me. I use to sit by the hour and listen to her play a few years ago. She played “Do I Worry?”. Norma and I use to be singing that all the time. Use to sing “Walk-in By The River” a lot too, also “There’ll Be Some Changes Made.” [Page 2] Norma told her to play “Sunday Monday Or Always” for me, and then I ask her to play “Always”. Both of those songs mean so much to me. I was talking to Norma’s, brother Jack. for a while too. Has that guy changed, he’s turned into a gentleman. He use to be just a big wolf. Oh yes, Norma, [text strikethrough]{so} said to tell you she said “hello”. I had a letter from Joe today. He says the girls in Alabama, are cute. I did’nt ask him either – so there. He told me, Id better watch you. I really don’t have too, because your in love with me. I love you too Sweetheart, and I always will too. Your so wonderful, so good-look-in, and so completely and exclusively mine. Ned, I can’t keep my eyes open much longer, so I’ll just have to close. Be good Darling. I’ll be loving you, Always �Jeannie P.S. Won’t-cha tell me when we will meet again, “Sunday Monday Or Always?” I love you � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Sweetheart ~ Received three wonderful-wonderful letters from Pvt. Manley, today. You’ll never know how happy they made me. They were written the 17th – 18th and 19th. Im feeling fine, and so is the rest of the family. Is your cough any better Ned? You just have to take care of yourself, please for me. Here it is the first day of spring, and the rain turned into snow. Its cold out too – Br-r-r! What I need is someone to cuddle up to, oh boy! I love you Dearest, oh ever so much. I need you, and want you more than you’ll ever – everknow. Its so awful being away from you. I long to be close in your arms, Id never want you to let me go- ever. I got home at 6:45 tonight. I had something to eat with my Dad, read your letters, mailed a letter to Joe, and here I am. Im sitting at the dining room table, everyone is out in the kitchen except Dad, he is in the living room, reading I have on a red sweater, and blue skirt, my hair is a little [text strikethrough]{mess} mussed up, and my nose is shiny, I bet-cha. I have a little bit of lipstick on, but it would’nt last long if you were here. My Mother was telling me the barber down here on Mayfield, called my Sister into the shop this afternoon. He ask her if she wanted [text strikethrough] {a} some magazines, and called (over Dearest) [Page 2] 2. I hope to God you never do leave me Ned. There just would’nt be much left for me if you did. It scares me to think of a future without you, because there would be no future for me, without you. I guess I don’t act like Im in love with you. I don’t show it, but Darling, your my whole life, your everything I love, and I’ll love you for always. �I’ll always be true to you Ned, believe me. If I were ever untrue to you, I could’nt live with myself. No Ned, please don’t ever worry, because I don’t give a [text strikethrough] {howl} whistle for other boys. I want to be held close, and I want to be kissed over and over again, but not until you’re here to hold me, and kiss me. I miss those kiss’s of yours Ned, they are so wonderful, and mean so much to me. I had a dish of pudding – a piece of cake and a glass of milk just a few minutes ago. Im not getting fat tho’ Ned. Im back to 150 lbs. again. I never go above or below it for long. Thats what I should weigh, so as long as I stay there Im not going to starve myself. Ned, if you want to save my letters (if you want to) and you have’nt room to keep them, send them to me, and I’ll put them away, and keep them. I have everyone of yours, and would’nt part with them for the world. I treasure those letters, because you wrote them. In just six more days, we have out 19th Anniversary coming up. Our second anniversary so far away from each other. Time is just crawling by since you’ve gone. Im so all (over Darling) [Page 3] 3. her in the back room to get them. He ask her how old she was, and then said something else that was’nt very nice. Im tempted to go over there, and give him a piece of my mind. I was so mad when I heard about it – if he had been near I would have torn him apart. Im still boiling. I fixed steak tonight for Hank. Its good [text strikethrough] experience all right. It’ll come in handy someday, maybe. She’s taught me a lot of things about cooking. She has all sorts of cook book’s, and books on child care. Ive looked through them all, and have really learned a lot from them. Every night I plan to bake something for you, and when I get home Im dead tired. I will very soon Sweetheart, promise. Im glad you liked the fudge. Your Mom, was telling me she sent you a three layer cake. That was really swell of her. I was Lucky again tonight. He never changes, he’s looking good. We were talking about his Mother, and then he ask about the family here. I left him on Eucild and 55th St. Ned, I want some pictures of you in the worst way. As soon as you can, will you send me one, oh please. You don’t know what it would mean to me. I was wearing a red sweater when that picture was taken. My girlfriend Pat took the picture, and it was taken over in the park, back of the monument. [text strikethrough] Ive tried to get film �Dearest, but its impossible. I’ll send you pictures often, and I have’nt forgotten the big picture either, so please don’t give up hope. [Page 4] Alone, and so very lonely. I miss you Ned Manley, and darn you just better hurry and come home to me, or else! I love you Sweetheart, and I know you love me. I know your true to me, why you just better not look at another girl. Other boy’s don’t interest me at all. Im very interested in Ned Manley, tho’. Mrs. Minor, just come in. She said “Well Jean, we don’t see much of you around here anymore”. I’ll bet it’s a relief for everyone. I still wear your locket all the time. I love that locket Ned, you’ll never know how happy I was Nov. 1st, when you put it on for me. It was very sweet of you because it was just what I wanted. I still wish I had a picture of you to put in it tho’. What ever happened to the picture you were going to give me for my locket? Dad is going to shave now, so I’ll have to close, and pack his lunch. Ive been writing for two hours exactly, and my arm is tired. Of course I took time off to eat my pudding and junk – I’ll do anything to gain weight. I just write too slow that’s all. Be good Dump-lin, and remember I’ll Always be in love with you, Jeannie P.S. I love you � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.

His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Sweetheart ~ Received two of your swell letters today, written on the 15th and 16th. They were both super swell Darling. It dos’nt matter to me how short your letters are, just so you write to me, that’s what counts most. As long as you write, and as long as you tell me you love me, Im satisfied. Im feeling swell, and you had just better be likewise. Im taking care of myself for you Ned, so please take good care of Manley, for me. In a few years Id like to take care of you if you’ll let me. I called your Mother just before I [text strikethrough] left work tonight. She’s fine, so she tells me. Im sure she’s alright Sweetness, so don’t worry. The family is fine, as usual. Mom and Shirley, are doing the (over honey) [Page 2] 2. dishes. Dad, is reading the paper in the living room. Chuck and his Mother are upstairs. I am sitting in the dining room at the table writing to the dearest, sweetest, best look-in, handsomest, most kissable boy in the world, my Sweetheart. Ive got your picture right here with me. I just wish I had you here. Ned Manley, you would get kissed, and Id never let you go again, ever. I love you Ned, more than you’ll ever know, more than anything in this whole wide topsy turvy world. I brought those magazines before you told me how busy they were keeping you. I know you won’t have much time to read them [Page 3] 3. At all. �Oh Ned, I love you so. I miss you, and long to have you here close to me. Its ever so lonely without you. I hate to see night come now that your so far away. Because I know that about 7:30, or 8:00 o’clock, if the door bell rings it won’t be you. I miss being angry with you because your two or three hours late. I miss holding your hand oh so much, and I miss kissing you goodnight over and over again. I miss you Ned Manley, God only know’s how much. Please hurry back to me Ned, for I need you. Without you I seem lost and alone. I know when you left it would’nt be the same without you, but I did’nt realize Id feel so lost, so (over Darling) [Page 4] 4. all alone. I know it must be harder for you, because I have my family. Right now it dos’nt seem to make any difference through, your gone, and you mean the world and all to me. You’ll never know how relieved I am about the ring. I couldn’t go on fibbing to your Mom, about it. It’ll be wonderful wearing your ring again, honest. I just wish [text strikethrough] I had’nt been such a fool before. I love you Ned, and I always will, always, forever, eternally, and everything else. Im pretty tired tonight, and sore all over. I went bowling, so now Im paying for it. It was raining when I [Page 5] 5. went out this morning, but was swell this afternoon. I guess its raining again tonight though. Oh, Im so sick of rain. I wrote Joe, a letter today. Don’t write to him very often now. Norma, writes to him every night. She’s really got it bad. Norma, let me read a few of Joe’s letters yesterday, and I really believe he means what he says. She said if Joe and her do get married, she wants me to be her Maid of Honor. Your Mother, was telling me, you had K.P. last week. Ned, you’ve got to get more sleep. You know as well as I do what happens when you don’t. Oh please Ned, take care of yourself. �(over Sweetness) [Page 6] 6. I had a letter from Norma today, so Im going to try and answer it tonight, and I also had a letter from a cousin, female. I have to pack my Pop’s lunch first, so I think Id better get busy now. Be good Manley, and please take care of yourself. I’ll love you, Always Jeannie P.S. I love you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior.

Because you see Manley, Im so very much in love with you, Id don’t know what to do. Now that your gone, oh I miss you so, and Ned I want you, more then anything in this world. Im so dead tired I can hardly keep my peepers open. I could’nt go to sleep tonight without writing to you though. Especially tonight Ned, when I feel closer to you then Ive felt in a long time. Im so very lonely tonight. I [text strikethrough]{m} want to be close to you Ned, cause that’s where I belong. Being (over) [Page 2] 2. without you just dos’nt seem right. Oh Ned, I don’t know how to express myself. It all adds up to one thing – I love you, and miss you, and want you more than anything the whole wide world, for always. I met Norma at 2:00 this afternoon as planned. We both got there at the same time. Sure was swell seeing her again, honestly. She’s really looking good, and so changed since the last time I saw her. She’s so much happier We went and saw “Music For Millions”, it was swell. Then we had dinner at Clacks. We were going to bowl at the Trainon, but it was packed and so was the Alhambra. So we [Page 3] took a ride up here on Coventry. I phoned my Dad, and told him to join us. Norma, and I bowled two games apiece before my Dad, got there. I did’nt do too bad, but yet it was’nt good. Could’nt get a pair of bowling shoes, so I had to bowl in high heels. It was hard to keep my balance. Altogether we bowled eight games each. �Dad, and I got home at 11:15. I packed his lunch – put my hair up, and come right upstairs to write to you, before hitting the hay. Im in my Dear Aunts, room now, lying on the bed. Chuck is right here beside me, sound asleep. Im [text strikethrough] already for bed, (over) [Page 4] and I sure am going to sleep, and how! Its going to rain, I can hear the thunder. It [text strikethrough]{rained} was raining while we were bowling. It certainly was a swell day tho’. By the way [text strikethrough] Norma suggested having our pictures taken. Im am sending you the sad results. Oh Ned, I love you so. Your wonderful Darling, and I need you. Id better close now Ned, I can’t keep my eyes open any longer.

I left work at 4:30 this afternoon. I could have left much earlier but didn’t because of the rain. I went down to 105th, did a little very nessessary shopping, and then took in a show, all by my lonesome. I saw “My Gal Loves Music”, with Bob Crosby. I came right home after the show, stopping off to pick up a skirt and coat from the cleaners. I got home at 7:15 right on the dot. Ive been on the go eversince. I talked to [Page 2] 2. Norma for sometime, about anything, and everything. Im going to meet her at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon at 105th. From there on, who know’s? Im feeling fine, and how’s my my big hunk-a-he-man? You never say how you are, just keep me worrying, and guessing. The family is fine, including those dern pests, Charles, and Shirley. Dad is working down the basement. Everyone else is upstairs Im sitting on the hassock, here by the radio, playing your records. Their wonderful Ned, don’t know what Id do without them. They mean so much to me now that we are’nt together (over) [Page 3] 3. as we should be. �Right now, your singing “Sunday Monday Or Always”. Gee Manley, it sure sounds swell to me.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Sweetheart— I love you, more than anything or anyone else in the whole side world. I’ll love you for always Dearest, always, forever, eternally, and everything else. As you know—Im at work now. Hank, had to go down town this morning on business, and is’nt working today. I have’nt any idea when she’ll be home, but it won’t be late. I was so dead tired last night, I could’nt write or anything else. I put my hair up, took a quick shower and went right to bed, and boy did I sleep. It was raining when I went out this morning, but has stopped now. I just hope its nice the rest of the day, and no more rain. I feel lots better if the sun would come out. Im going to call your Mother sometime today. I call every two days as you ask me to Ned. Don’t worry about your Mom, she’ll be allright Ned. As for me, Im fine. Just had one pesty cold since you’ve been gone. Don’t know where I could have caught it, because you were’nt around, and I usually catch all my colds from you. Not that I ever minded, because I liked the way I caught them very much. Its all gone way now, my Dad took care of that. Hot lemonade, and grease – ugh! Wait until after we’re married, then I’ll get rid of your colds for you, and how! (over Honey) [Page 2] 2. I have one of your small picture here with me now. I carry it with me always, but can’t carry it next to my heart, for I have [?] a pocket. Gee, you’re the handsomest boy in the world, your super. Wow, and look at all that hair on his chest, [text strikethrough] and that little lock of hair that won’t ever stay in place. Its out of place just as I love it, in this picture. I always wanted that curl, but you’d never give it to me. You selfish thing, you. We’ll have our “Someday” Ned, and it will be wonderful. I’ll be happy as long as I have you. We were mean’t for each other Dearest, and “Someday”, we will be Mr. and Mrs. Edward Arthur �Manley. Before very long there will be more then just two of us. We’ll have out little home too, just as we’ve dreamed of having it, and all out other hopes and dreams will all come true. I miss you so Ned, that when your home for good, I don’t ever want to be separated from you again, ever. I want you near me always. I love you Manley, ever so much. I miss those kiss’s of yours too, but I’ll except no substitute’s. I want to be kissed by you, and you alone. Im saving all my kiss’s for you Sweetheart, but I just hope I won’t have to go on saving them for long. I hope that before long, I [?] be giving each and every one of them to you personally. I just made myself a cup of coffee, oh I forgot you don’t like coffee. Oh well just wait until your tied down to me, you’ll learn to like coffee, or else—or else I’ll punish you by kissing you a couple thousand times. (over Dearest) [Page 3] By the way Dearest, how is that cold of yours?? You know, I have’nt heard form you for the past couple days, and Im worried sick. The last I heard, you had a bad cold, and had to get up at 3:00 in the morning to go on a long hike. I just hope your alright, and that I hear from you today. Little Johnny is outside playing, making enough noise too. Im sitting here in the dining room by an open window, where I can see him if he go’s out of the back yard. I don’t think he will tho’, because I told him not to, and he minds me pretty good. He cried last night when I left, he dose that every once in a while, and sometimes he’ll stand by the door, so I can’t get out. He’s a sweet little guy, and I like him very much. When he gets mad at me, he’ll say “you’re a bad girl, your not pretty”. Ive had to put him to bed a couple times, because he got stubborn, but we usually get along alright. I had french fried tart for breakfast this morning. Do you like it Sweetheart? Its O.K. once in a while, but not too often. For lunch Im having creamed carrots and peas – cold meat and gravy loaf, and salad. Johnny, loves butterscotch pudding, so we’ll have to have some pudding too. I think I’ll bake tonight, if I can. Id like to make you some cookies. Dad wants some johnny cake too. Don’t have it very often anymore, so he’s been complaining. I baked some [text strikethrough] this week tho’. I love you Ned Manley, and golly, how Id love to be with you. Id give anything to have you here with me right now. Id kiss you like you’ve never been kissed before. [Page 4] �You’ve been gone four weeks [text strikethrough] now, and its gets worse being away from you, day [text strikethrough] after day. If only I could see you, oh Ned Id give anything to see you just for one minute. Id better go start lunch now. Be good Darling, and please take care of yourself for me. Write as often as you can. I’ll be loving you, Always Jeannie P.S. “Someday” When you Go When you go, a hush falls, O’er all my heart, And in a trance of my own dreams, I move apart. When you go the street grows, Like a vacant place. What if a million faces pass, If not your face? When you go, my life stops Like ships becalmed at sea, And waits the breath from heaven, That blows you back to me. —Hank, the girl I work for wrote it. She told me I could copy it, and sent it to you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

I love you Ned, more then anything else in the whole wide world. I’ll always love you always, and that comes from the bottom of my heart. I’ll love you always, forever, eternally, and everything else. Im sitting out at the kitchen table, over by the window. Just finished eating a piece of johnny cake, half pint of ice cream, and am now drinking a R.C. Cola. Don’t care if I do get fat, do you Manley? Ahem! I have my hair up in a towel, and have on my robe and slippers, wow I look a mess. I got home at 7:00 tonight. I went right upstairs, washed my hair [Page 2] 2. took a bath, washed out a few things, and then hurried back downstairs. I called your Mother, but she wasn’t in, I finally found out she is never home on Wednesday nights. I talked to your little sister for some time. I had a bite to eat, and then packed my Dad’s lunch, eat my ice cream – cake – and drank my pop, and here I am – I miss you too Ned, oh ever so much. Its mighty lonesome around here evenings, without you. Id give anything I own, except you, [text strikethrough] just to see you for a second. Oh, how I wish I could hold you close, kiss you over and over again, and tell you how much I love you. Dad is sitting out here in the kitchen with me, smokeing his pipe. He said to tell you he’s “going [Page 3] 3. �to break the record bowling tomorrow night”. I wonder? He has’nt been working overtime lately, and Im so glad, cause he needs his rest. Ned, it means a lot to me, to be kissed by you too. It’s the most wonderful thing that could ever happen to me. It sure give me a surprise, Aug. 27th, 1943. Id rather be kissed by you than anyone else, anywhere. Would’nt want to be kissed by anyone else but you, never. Oh Ned, I wish you could kiss me right now. When you said it was torture be separated, you were right, oh so very right. Its worse then torture. Oh Ned, I want so much to see you, and be with you, I want so much to kiss you, and hold you close. I love you Ned Manley, [Page 4] 4. and its about time you realized how awfully much you mean to me. I’ll always love you Darling, always. We’re going to have our “Someday” too. That’s all I can think of anymore, just what its going to be like “Someday”. It’ll be super super wonderful. Im going up to bed, and oh yes first I have to put my hair up. Be good Darling – for me. Take care of yourself too, or else! Love and Kiss’s Yours Always Jeannie P.S.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter.

His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Sweetheart— Got your swell letter, written on the 7th, today. Gee, it sure is swoonderful hearing from you Ned. Your not the only one who is lonely Darling. Its so darn lonesome around here, I just don’t know where to turn. I just want time to fly by, until your home with me again. Im feeling fine. How are you Ned. Better be taking good care of yourself, or else! The family is well, except for colds. I love you Ned Manley. I love you so much, gee more then you or anyone will ever realize. Your wonderful, and Im the luckiest girl in the world, because you love me. Its an honor to have a Sweetheart as swell [Page 2] 2. as you are. Oh Ned, please love me always. Im sitting at the dining room table, waiting. Mom and the kids are out in the kitchen, and Dad is down the basement. I look a mess, honest. My hair is all mussed up, because of the wind, and most of my make up is off. I have my yellow blouse, navy blue skirt, black shoes, and stockings on. Oh yes, and I also have a yellow ribbon in my hair, shall I go on? I met my Pop today as planned, and we went shopping. When we got home everyone had gone to a movie. I read your letter, and also a letter from Arthur, my [Page 3] 3. cousin. He say’s he would have liked to meet you. Oh yes, he also told me if your ever in San Diego (where he is stationed) to give him your address, and he’ll look you up. �He seems to think a lot of Lottie. Arthur said he hates the Navy, but at least something good has come out of it all—Lottie. I did like her a lot, even tho’ my Mother, was so set against her. I guess I told you, did’nt I? Arthurs Mom dos’nt like the idea very well iether, but if they love each other Im sure every thing will turn out alright for them. Norma called me tonight, but I was out. We’re going to [Page 4] 4. go out together next Sunday. (a week from tomorrow) I suppose we’ll take in a movie, and eat out together. It sure will be good to see her again. Norma, is still crazy about Joe. I don’t know what to think about it. Id just like to know if he is serious about her. I went bowling tonight with my Dad. I did pretty good for a change, but Im no match for my Pap. He beats me every time. Afterwards we stopped in and had a milkshake. Then walked the rest of the way home (from Coventry) to make up for it. Can’t get fat you know. [Page 5] 5. I’ll be Mrs Manley, “Someday”, and how I will. I will try to make you a good wife Ned. Oh yes, and I will try to be a good mother. Im going to spoil all 28 of them tho’. Do you mind Sweetheart? You’ll never know how Im longing to see you Darling. I want to hold you close, and tell you how awfully much I love you. I want to kiss you over and over again, just be near you, always. I love you so Sweetheart. More then anything else in the whole wide world, for always, eternally, and everything else. (remember who started that?) I tried to call your Mom quite a few times before Dad [Page 6] 6. and I left, but the line was busy. It was too late to call her when I got home. �Bet, you still carry that lovely picture, with my hair on top of my head, huh? Oh your sweet to carry my picture around with you, and kiss it good night, then put in under your pillow for the night. I just wish it were me you carried around with you, and kissed goodnight, and then put under your pillow. Don’t think Id fit in your pocket or under your pillow, but I sure could help you out when it came to that goodnight kiss—Wow! I’ll show you when you come home, O.K.? Please take care of yourself [Page 7] 7. Ned, for me. Id be lost with out you. Ive just got to have you for my own, always I’ll bet Im not the most beautiful girl in the world. I can’t even begin to compare with most girls. Don’t even know what you see in me, but what ever it is – I hope it lasts. Oh I know it will Dearest – it has too. I wish you were holding me close in your arms right now, oh boy – and how I do. I’ll never leave you Ned Dearest, never. I’ll always belong to you, as long as you want me. I’ll always want you, always! Your so wonderful, and so gosh darn handsome. Gee, [Page 8] 8. I just keep thanking my lucky stars that you sat down beside me in the Astor show, Aug. 27th, 1943. It scares me to think how close I came to staying home (at Davies) that night. I guess I should thank Davie for being so stubborn. We’ll have to go see “Flight For Freedom” together if it ever comes back. Did’nt see much of the picture that night. Of course I had seen the picture before. Im sorry to hear about tour transfer to the Air Corp. not going through. Not that I wanted you in the Air Corp, because I did’nt, but I know you wanted it, and I want you to be satisfied Ned. Oh Ned I love you so. [Page 9] 9. �It’s so lonesome here without you. “Saturday Night Is The [text strikethrough]{Loneliest N} Loneliest Night Of The Week” (an how) Every night is lonely tho’, cause your not here, close to me. My Dad is taking it easy on the Studio [text strikethrough]{watch} couch, he’s tired. Mr Lobb, just came in, and is talking to him. Gee, Im tired too Darling. Im going to close now, and get in bed. Be good, and take care of yourself. I’ll be loving you, Always Jeannie “Someday” – but deff. (over Darling) [Page 10] P.S. Dad looked at my letter, and said “Gee how many letters did you write?” Got up, went out in the kitchen, and said “I’ll have to have a smoke on that” I love you � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school.

Golly Ned, I’ll be your wife, and I’ll belong to you. Im yours now Ned, exclusively. Maybe I’ll go down and make you some fudge before I go to bed. Sunday, Im going to try and bake something for you. Don’t know what, but it better be good, huh Darling? The switch on our victrolia is broke. So I can’t play your records now. That’s the only way I had to hear your voice, and now it’s broke, gee do I feel terrible. Manley, you lay off that ice cream, your gon’na get fat. You want me to eat a pint of ice cream every day, and drink a dozen milk shakes, pop, chocolate candys, and anything that gives with the calories. Well I will, if you get fat, honest I will. Golly, I wish I could see you in uniform. I’ll bet you look snazzy, don’t-cha? Oh Ned, Id give anything to see you just for a few minutes, no matter what you had on.

Dearest Ned— Received two more of your letters as of the fourth today. Gee, you really made up for not writing on the third, did’nt you? Im dead tired tonight, so if this [text strikethrough] [text strikethrough] sounds crazy, don’t blame me. Im going to bed as soon as I finish writing to you, because I can’t even put my hair up tonight. Im comfortably exhausted. A little silly too, Ive been this way all day. Im fine though, and so is the rest of the family. Dad did’nt get home until 8:30 any way. Wonder where he was?? I had to give Johnny a spanking this afternoon, and put him to bed—he started acting smart. His Dad told me if ever he started that to punish him that way, so I did. I think it hurt me more than it did him. Its hard for me to get mad at him, but he can get into more [Page 2] 2. mischief. I left there at 6:45, and walked down to 55th. Since there was no car coming I walked up to Hough. Lucky Hufford got off the Hough bus, and I almost fell over when I saw him. He was all dressed up, and did’nt look bad at all. He rode up to Eucild with me, I don’t know where he was going. I come on home, got here at about 7:45. I felt pretty low when I found out you had called home Sunday, and I was’nt there too. Felt so darn low that after I talked to your mother I cried myself to sleep. Its all night tho’ Ned, Id rather not be down there when you call anyway. Even though Id give the world to talk to you. Id feel out of place, as though I were intruding. Try to understand Ned, please. �I had a letter from Joe, and one from my cousin Alice today. Joe is fine as usual. He seems to think a lot of Nanna [Page 3] 3. but who can tell? I love you too Ned, believe me I do. I think your wonderful. I miss you something awful, and want to be near you badly. I’ll never leave you Ned, ever. There’s no use fibbing to you tho’ Ned, school is’nt coming along all right. I just have’nt got what it takes, I guess. If its going to (as you say) subtract [text strikethrough] {from} any happiness from “Someday” for you, if I don’t finish High School, then Im sorry. I just don’t know what to do Ned. Don’t worry about it tho’, and everything will be O.K. Remember this Ned, if ever you do want to leave me, your free to go. I could’nt hold you, and would’nt try. You’d better know I love you Ned. I don’t show it very much, I know, but I do love you. I love you more then anything else in the whole wide world. I always will, always, forever, eternally, and (over) [Page 4] 4. everything else. Im ashamed of the letter I wrote last Sunday night. It was because I missed talking to you. Now I realize how silly it all was. Im just plain jealous, and I should’nt be. Its just as tho’ you don’t belong to me at all –or something like that. Gee Ned, I don’t know what I’m writing about, honest. We’ll have our “Someday” Ned, just wait and see. You bet’cha we will. We’ll have our “Someday”, our little home, and our 28 lil-brats. Im going to close now Darling. Be good, take care of yourself, and write soon.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

I mixed up some cookies. Im just experimenting, because Ive never tried these cookies before. Their “Nut Cookies”, with a maple flavoring. I just hope they turn out all right. Mrs. Bogdon told me I could bake anytime I felt like it, and Johnny just loves cookies. In fact he’s crazy about them. I called my mother a few minutes ago, and she said I had a letter from you. Its no doubt your letter of the 4th, Sunday. Ive got my hair in pig tails again—with white ribbons in them. I have my navy blue and white skirt on, and a red sweater, (no not that one) stockings, and my [Page 2] 2. brown loafers. [text strikethrough] Oh yes, and plenty of lipstick. I just took the cookies out, um-m they smell good—but I wonder how they taste. Johnny just can in grabbed a cookie, and dropped it quick, their hot. He’s a sweet little devil. I told you last night the rain turned into snow. This morning every thing was covered with snow. The sun is out now though. Im feeling swell, and you’d just better be like-wise. Please take care of yourself Ned, for me. I love you so much. I think your super wonderful. The Handsomest boy in the whole wide world too. Your letters mean ever so much to me. Their the one really bright spot in my day. I look forward to that letter all day. Its so wonderful hearing from you. �Johnny wants to go out for a walk now Ned. He dos’nt get out much, so Im going to take him out. I’ll write again tonight Darling. (over) [Page 3] (3.) Be good, and take care of Manley for me. I’ll love you Always, Jeannie P.S.

Title A name given to the resource Edward Manley collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Manley, Edward Arthur, b. 1926 Worthington , Jean Allaine , b. 1928 Description An account of the resource A collection of letters and photographs from Edward "Ned" Manley, a soldier in the U.S. Army, and his girlfriend Jean Worthington, a teenage schoolgirl in Cleveland, Ohio, dating from 1945-1946. The content of Jean's letters describes everyday life of a teenage schoolgirl living in Cleveland, Ohio, with her parents during the war, including frequent mentions of friends, popular songs, movies, pets, and cooking, and visits to Edward's family, and her love for Edward. Edward's letters to Jean mostly concentrate on sentiments of love and the hope of marriage after the war. He also describes experiences and duties as he undergoes training with a variety of weapons and ordnance, his singing with a USO show, requests for transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps, his volunteering for parachute infantry training, and descriptions of Nagoya during the American occupation of Japan. Both correspondents mention the anniversary of their first meeting (27 August 1943), and often use the word "Someday" in quotation marks which seems to refer to the then-popular song "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You." There is constant good-natured joking from both about the 28 children they will have once they are married. ean ("Jeannie") Allaine Worthington was born on 1 November 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents were Archibald ("Archie") Augusta Worthington (1896-1979), a tool worker, and Lena L. Fritchell (1904-1985); she had one younger sister, Shirley C. Worthington (1934-2012). In 1945 and 1946 she was living with her parents at 14247 Superior Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. She met Edward Manley on 27 August 1943 in Cleveland when she was 14 and he was 16, but it does not seem likely they attended the same school. During 1945 she was attending high school and had a job after school. There is no evidence that they subsequently married; in Cleveland in 1971 or 1972 she married John Krasnicki, Sr. (1906-1986), who was twenty-two years her senior. She died on 8 September 1994 in Garfield Heights and is buried in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland. Edward ("Ned") Arthur Manley was born on 25 December 1926 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were Patrick Sanfield Manley (1895-1952), advertising manager for a Cleveland newspaper and Leonarda Gallagher Manley (1896-1970); he had five siblings: Edith Manley McNamara (1928-1958), John Vincent (1930-1988), Narda Patricia Daly (1931-2007), Alicia Ann Gramuglia (1932-2006), and Patrick A. (1934-2011). The family emigrated from Canada to the United States in the 1930s and by 1940 were living in Cleveland. Edward Manley enlisted in the U.S. Army as Private on 15 February 1945 in Cleveland; that same day he entrained for the Army Reception Center at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. In late February he had been assigned to Company B, 30th Battalion, 3rd Regiment at the Infantry Replacement Training Center at Fort McClellan, Alabama. A request to be transferred to the Army Air Corps was turned down. After a twelve-day furlough, Edward was transferred in late July to Company B-1-1, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 3 at Fort Riley, Kansas for a few days before being passed on to 3rd Platoon, Company M, 4th Regiment, Army Ground Forces Replacement Depot No. 2 at Fort Ord, California. In early August he was placed in 1st Platoon, Casual Company 12 in preparation for shipping out to Japan for occupation duties. By 13 September he was in Luzon in the Philippines as part of the 666 Replacement Company, A.P.O. 291, shortly to be assigned to Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, A.P.O. 25. Edward arrived in Japan in early October and was assigned to an antitank Company in the 27th Infantry Regiment. By the end of June 1946 he was still in Japan, but he repeats a rumor that they would be coming back the United States in October 1946. Manley was discharged in October 1946 and returned to California to find that Jean was engaged to be married to a man named "Shorty." Manley lost contact with Jean shortly thereafter. By 1952 he had moved to Los Angeles, California and at some point married Antoinette T. Manley (born 1940). They had one son, Darren Anthony Manley (born 1984). Edward applied for naturalization on 17 May 1945 in Anniston, Alabama while he was stationed at Fort McClellan, and became a U.S. citizen on 19 May 1945.

Sweetheart— Received your letter as of the 1st today. It was a wonderful letter, so swell hearing from you. I just got [text strikethrough] home a few minute’s ago. I went downtown you know. Its windy out to[text strikethrough]night, but warm. I still have my hair up in pigtails. Boy, I look a sight, as usual. I had a letter from Joe you know. He seems to think a lot of Norma—he says she seems like a sensiable girl, and the type to be true to a fellow. She’s No. 1. on his list (he writes to 6 other girls) Maybe he means it, who knows? 10:05 P.M. Norma just called me. You see I called her when I come home, but she was’nt in, so she called me back. She also had a letter from Joey today—also dated the 25th of Feb., of course. I love you Manley, honest I do. Gosh, I think your swell. Best look-in boy in the whole [Page 2] 2. wide world too. We will have our “Someday” Ned—just wait and see if we don’t. All our dreams will come true, all 28 of them. Pvt. Manley, from now on my kiss’s are rationed. No black market either but just because your someone pretty special I’ll give you one red token. You can use it when you come home, and its good for as many kiss’s as you want. Just because your [text strikethrough] some one pretty special, and the only boy (besides my Pop) that I kiss or ever will kiss again, ever. I am silly I know, because you know darn well you’ll get all the kiss’s you want when you get home. Yes sir, you’ll get all you want and more. Oh Manley, I love you so. I’m going to play your records again tonight before I go to bed. Just to hear your voice is so wonderful. �I’ll have to go now Sweetheart, and pack Dad’s lunch. [Page 3] 3. You be a good boy Manley. I’ll be a good girl, always. For I belong to you, and you alone— Exclusively— Take good care of yourself too, please for me. Don’t suppose you can play records there, can you? Good night Sweetheart I’ll love you, Always, Jeannie P.S. I love you. I’ll always belong to you Ned. “Someday” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
