I called in & inquired of you, on Monday last, if you remember, for the number of Frank
Leslie’s Illustrated News, next issued after the 16th of April 1865, & Containing the
picture of the deathbed scene of Abraham Lincoln; and you promised, if I mistake not,
that you would send me word as to whether, or not, you could furnish me that number, by
the next (Tuesday) morning.
I have not as [text strikethrough]{yet}heard from you since.
If you have found that number for me, please send me word & I will call in for it,
promptly.
Yours Truly,

Olexa, Joseph P.
Van Der Weide, Agnes
Description
An account of the resource
Collection of letters between Joseph Olexa and Agnes Van Der Weide, dating from 1941 to 1946. Olexa fought in the U.S. Army 26th Infantry Division, Company "L", and eventually attained the rank of Staff Sergeant. Over the course of World War II, Olexa was engaged in North Africa, Sicily, France, Belgium, and Germany. He fought in the Invasion of Normandy, the liberation of Belgium, the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, and the Battle of the Bulge. While deployed abroad, Olexa maintained regular correspondence with Agnes Van Der Weide, a young woman he met through mutual friends. Agnes was the daughter of Benjamin and Minnie (Ter Meer) Van Der Weide. The Van Der Weide family lived in Jamestown, Michigan and Ashburnham, Massachusetts until moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1943.
While the letters do not contain details relating to Olexa's military activities, due to heavy censorship of soldiers' correspondence by the U.S. Army, the letters do depict the daily activities of an infantry soldier and illustrate the blossoming romance between the two. Joseph and Agnes were married July 23, 1945, and lived in West Michigan until Agnes's death in 1993. Joseph Olexa died December 3, 2000. They were survived by their son, Karl Olexa.

[?] 20 April ‘62
My dear Sir,
I will thank you to direct the ordinance officer to send me without delay to this place, a
copy of the contract made with Boker, for [?], with his directions for working it; and also,
to find me a copy of Mr. Holt’s report thereon, which I see commented upon to my
discredit in the newspapers. Knowing that I did no wrong, I am not willing to leave the
country without trying to convince my loyal fellow citizens, of the integrity as well as
wisdom of my conduct, in all related to furnishing our soldiers with arms often my
predictions had inferred them to be
�stolen from the arsenals.
Expecting to be in Washington Tuesday morning. If you can allow me an early interview
you will expedite my return to my home & greatly oblige me.
Very truly yours,
Simon Cameron
