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.

7:30 P.M.
Sweetheart,
I’m riding on a train to Camp Atterbury in Indiana. It’s a very bumpy train as my writing will show.
Gee, but you looked swell when I saw you at the Station. You’re the most beautiful and the most
wonderful girl in the world.
“Someday” we’re going to have our own little home just as we’ve dreamed about and planned. “The train
has stopped”
If you write to me before I send you my permanent address, don’t mail the letter to the address on the
envelope on the card I sent you. They might not reach me.
I love you sweetest, dearest Jeannie
[Page 2]

more than anything else in the whole wide world for always, forever, eternally and everything else. Just
be mine for always darling for I’ll always be yours.
Please take care of yourself. I wouldn’t know what to do if I ever lost you.
Well tomorrow, we get a lecture, some shots, probably a physical exam, and our uniforms. I’ll be quite
busy for the next week. We’ll get classification tests. I hope I can get into the air corps.
Be a good girl sweetheart, and don’t ever forget that
I’ll be loving you dearest,
Always-Ned
P.S. “SOMEDAY”
Goodnight Sweetheart.
See you in Dreamland.

My dearest Jeannie-Gee but it’s so awful lonely here. I’m sitting down writing this letter on my cot. We got our

Oh my darling, I love you, ever so much. More than anything else in the whole wide world_ for

wonderful and the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world. I still carry your picture with me

Dearest Jeannie,
Gee, darling, I miss you so darn much. I’m thinking of you all the time.
Today we had our classification tests. If I passed them I might have a chance to go to school for
awhile to become a radio operator or an officer.
Sweetheart, I love you, more than anything in the whole wide world. You mean, oh ever so much
to me darling. If you want to you can write to me. If I’m gone before it gets here, it will be
forwarded to my next base. I’ll try to call you as soon as I can. I just called my mother. It was
swell taking to her.
I’ll have to go now darling. Be good and take care of yourself cause
I’ll be loving you
always
Ned
P.S. “Someday”

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.

5:00 P.M.
Sweetheart-We just got off duty a short while ago. At 10:00 A.M. we reported and had movies and lectures
on Army Life. We have to report back Monday morning at 7:00 A.M. Tonight at 6:00 P.M. we
report for roll call and then find out who reports for K.P. duty tomorrow. I’m hopin’ and prayin’
I don’t get called for it.
My Army pants and overcoat are not yet ready from being altered, so I can’t go to the movies,
recreation hall, or Sports Center. I’m going to try to call you on the phone as soon as I can.
Gee, but it’s lonesome here.
[Page 2]

Not being with you-- not hearing your voice is something that gives me that lonely feeling. I love
you more than anything in the world my darling. When I come home, I coming home to you and
then we’ll have our “Someday.” Gee, but you’re beautiful though. A few minutes before I started
writing this letter, I took out my wallet and looked at the picture I keep of you. Being away from
you is hard Jean. I’m not kidding either, But there’s one thing that will keep a smile on my face
and that is that you’ll always be just mine and mine alone. And by the way, I’ll be yours
exclusively, for always, forever, eternally, and everything else.
It snowed here pretty hard last night (2 to 3 inches), but the sun came out today and melted it
quite a bit. Right now I’m sitting in

the barracks on my cot.
This morning, we had our Classification Tests. If I pass them I might get to go to school for quite
awhile. We’ll find out the results probably on Monday.
I just finished the last of the chocolate bars my mom put in my bag. All the boys on the train had
some of [?] fudge.
�We all hope to be (was just called for roll call, Didn’t get any K.P. It’s now 8:45. Wrote you a
letter from Telephone center after roll call. Wrote my mother a letter and ate. I shipped out of
here [text strikethrough] by Tuesday. Will telephone you from here if possible and also from my
new base.
I’ll have to close now my darling. Please take good care of yourself for me. I’ll always be yours
darling, so please be

just mine for always.
And we’ll have our “Someday,” just wait and see.
I’ll see you in Dreamland my dearest. I’ll see you in my dreams and
I’ll be loving you
Always,
Ned

6:08 P.M.
My dearest Jeannie-While I was writing a letter a little earlier today (around 5:00) back at the barracks I was called
out to find whether I had K.P. or not. No this time, I was lucky. I’m at the Telephone Center now
but I won’t be able to call you tonight. I’m going to try tomorrow morning or around noon
though.
I love you Jeannie sweetheart and I always will. I think you’re wonderful. You and I are going to
be married “Someday.” We’ll have our own home and everything we’ve planned and dreamed
about.
After I finish this letter, I’m going over to the P.X. and get something to eat. Then I’ll probably
go back to the barracks, finish the letter I [text strikethrough] was writing, and

then I’ll get to bed. I’m going to Church tomorrow at 9:00 A.M. I won’t have to get up ‘til 8:30
(I hope). Right after Church, I’m going to try to call you on the phone.
Please write to me Jean. I want ever so much to hear from you. We were told to tell everyone not
to write to us for we might leave soon, but you can write and if I’m gone, it will be forwarded to
me.
I’m going to write a letter to mom now so I’ll close this letter to the dearest, sweetest girl on

Take care of yourself darling, Jeannie. Remember that I’m think of you all of the time and that
I’ll be loving you,

10:25 A.M.
Dearest Jeannie-I’m as the telephone center now waiting for a call to be put through to you. I hope you are home.
I got up at 4:45 this morning and got cleaned up and went to breakfast. Then I went back to my
barracks and waited for work call. I didn’t get any, so I helped the others sweep and mop up the
floor. Then I went to Church at 9:00 A.M. From there I came over here.
How is everyone at your house? All well I hope.
Gee, but I think the world of you darling. You’re the most wonderful, the most beautiful girl in
the whole wide world. And you’re all mine. That’s what makes me feel good. That feeling that
someone loves you just as much as you just as much as you love them. I love you

my dearest and I always will. And by the way, we’re gonna have our “Someday,” aren’t we? But
definitely!!!
All of our dreams will come try Jeannie sweetheart. I want you to be my wife “Someday.” All
you have to do is be a good girl and take care of yourself. If anything ever happened to you or I
lost you, I wouldn’t know what to do. I love you so much, you’re on my mind all day. You’re
mine Jean, and you’ll always be mine. I’ll always be yours too.
Some of the men and boys here left their wives and sweethearts and are quite worried whether
they’ll be true to them or not. Gee, but I’m awfully lucky to have a sweetheart like you. I’ll never
worry about whether you’re true to me or not. I just know you always will be. And I promise you
�darling, I’ll always be true to you. I’m darn proud to have you and I’ll never let you go. Oh Jean,
I love you so.

I hope you can read this writing because I’m writing it on the arm of a chair here in the
Telephone Center.
Gee, how I wish I could see you right now. I wish I could hold you in my arms and kiss you and
hear you say you love me. Gee but it’s lonely without out.
You’re worth waiting for Jean and I’m going to wait. Gee it’ll be swell when I’m back home
again with you. I’ll get a good job as a swoon-crooner and we’ll get married and _oh, it’ll be so
gosh darn wonderful.
I think I’ll close now dearest Jeannie. Please take care of [text strikethrough] (Pardon me. I wrote

as you can. My address is on the envelope.
I’ll be loving you Sweetheart

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.

Dearest Jeannie_
I’m sitting on the floor of my barracks waiting for work call. If they don’t call our group for it,
we get the afternoon off.
Gee, but it was swell hearing your voice on the phone today. After I called you I found out later
that I could have talked longer. I wish I knew about that before I called you.
Oh Jeannie dearest, I love you so—more than anything in the whole wide world. Your mine
exclusively, and you’ll always be.
“Someday”, you and I are going to be married. It’ll be

really wonderful being with you all the time, never to leave you again.
I’ll have to close now darling. We’re having the call in a few minutes. Take care of yourself, be a
good girl, and say a little prayer for me.
So long sweetheart_
I’ll be loving you
Always
Ned
P.S. “Someday”

Dearest Jeannie_
I’m at the telephone center and just finished a letter to my mother. I went and saw a movie
tonight. It was called “Objective Burma.” It was swell. I have to be in bed by 11:00 P.M.
How is everyone? Tell them I said “hello” and was asking how they were.
Gee, I miss you an awful lot, my darling. I’d give the world to be back with you, never to leave
you again. I love you so darn much, and you mean so much to me.
Please take care of yourself all the time. I love you again my darling.

Goodnight sweetheart. I love you so very much.

Sweetheart_
After we’re married, you’ll have to bake some bread for me. I love home made bread.
I’m going to try to see a movie tonight. It’s “Objective Burma.”
Oh yes in nine more days we’ll have our 18th anniversary.
Always,

I LOVE YOU—Someday

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.

[Manley 011]
[Page 1]
February 19, 1945
4:40 P.M.
Dearest Jean,
Today, I finished processing. I got my “dog tag”, arranged for insurance and War Bonds, and had
an interview to determine my qualifications. Tonight at 6 P.M. we have a roll call for K.P. or
special duty.
I passed my qualifying tests with pretty fair marks. For Officer’s Candidate School, I qualified
with a better than average mark. In the mechanical aptitude test I got a better than average mark
and for radio code, I did average. I hope that it will do me some good.
Gee, but it’s lonesome here.
[Page 2]
2.
I miss you ever so much my darling. More than you’ll ever know. But in the not too distant
future, I’ll be back with you, to be with you for always, forever, eternally, and everything else.
Life out here at Camp Atterbury isn’t so tough. It’s all in the way that you go into it. Today,
before and after our interviews, I was playing the top part of the piano and another fellow was
playing the base and a lot of the boys were singing. The food they serve isn’t so hot, but we can
get wieners an hamburgers at the P.X. any time.
I wish I could see you right this very minute. I bet you look awfully pretty. Honest sweetheart, I
think that you’re the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world. And by the way, I think you’re
the most wonderful girl also.
[Page 3]
3.
If I can, I’ll write you another letter tonight. I might go to a movie. None of the movies they
show here have been released to the public as yet.
There’s a lot of talk that we might move from here to some camp tomorrow morning for our
basic training. I sure hope we do. In that event, I won’t go to the movie. But after the movie, I’ll
stop in at the Telephone Center and write to you.
�Here in the barracks (that’s where we live) we can’t lie or sit on our beds from 4:45 A.M. to 4:30
P.M. so we have to sit on the floors as there are nothing but cots up here. I sleep on the second
floor and my bed is right by a window facing toward the east. Gee I wish I could see you this
very minute.
I love you, Jeannie darling, more than anything in the whole wide
[Page 4]
4.
and I’ll always love you, honest I will. I think you’re swell. Please just be mine for always. I’ll
always be yours.
I’m going to close now darling. Please take care of yourself and remember
I’ll be loving you,
AlwaysNed
P.S. “Someday” we’ll be married. Gee, it’ll be swell having you as Mrs. Manley. I love you so
much Jeannie and it’s awful lonesome here without you.
Remember “Someday”
So long Sweetheart,
Ned

Dearest Jeannie_
I’m just on my way back from a show I saw. It was fair.
Well, I’ve got K.P. call at 4:00 A.M. tomorrow. It’s really not so hard though.
I love you my darling, more than anything in the whole wide world. I think you’re swell. Gee,

I’m going to go get some sleep now dearest. Until “Someday” take care of yourself. I’ll take care
of you after that.
Think of me and please write to me.
Goodnight Sweetheart_
I’ll be loving you
Always—
