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.

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.

Well Ned – its nothing really serious. He’s just changed a lot. He dos’nt seem to give a darn where I go, or what I do.

I got to bed at 9: P.M – and got up at 9:45 this morning. Im just an old weakling – I guess. I’ll show you how strong I can be when you come home tho’. I’ll squeeze the life out of you Manley.

During the summer I’ll be seeing a lot of her. Im [Page 5] 5. going to stay on where I am I guess.

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.

April 11, 1945 9:30 P.M. Darling – Just got home a few minutes ago. I met Norma, after work – and we had supper together. She quit work early – so she could meet me. We had some pictures taken – why, I’ll never know. I washed my hair quite late last night—and did’nt put it up. So my hair was a mess— but as you can see – its growing. Im lying here on my Dad’s bed waiting for Norma, to phone me, and of course writing to the most wonderful boy in the world. Im awfully tired tonight – I don’t know why, guess I just can’t take it. I received your letter as of the 9th, today. Oh Ned, it is wonderful. You’ll never know [Page 2] 2. what those letters of yours mean to me. I treasure each and every one of them. Ned, your going to get fat. How you can eat a quart of ice-cream is beyond me – let alone – cake, peanuts, milk, a chocolate bar, and a coke. Oh Manley, no wonder you didn’t feel well. What ever you do Ned, don’t ever change your mind about me. I don’t know what Id do if you did. I love you, and I do want you. I want very much to be Mrs. Manley – “Someday”.

I can’t keep track of him any more. [Page 4] 4. Joe, is really gone on Norma. So he tells me anyway. He say’s Cleveland is his first stop – and he’s taking Norma on to New York, with him. She’s told me, she’ll marry him – so I guess its all set. I just wonder what the outcome will be. I know one sure thing – I love you, and Im going to marry you, just as soon as its possible. I love you so Darling. Darn right, we’ll have all “28” – and who knows how many more. Seriously tho’ Ned, we’re not going to have more than four, if I have my way about it. [Page 5] 5.

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 know you’ll always love me, and Oh Sweet heart I’ll always love you, always, forever, eternally, and everything else. After you left I said good-bye to the family, and got a street car.

I had to do the dishes, and then pack my Dads lunch. By the time I was finished my Dad was home. I had a piece of Johnny cake with him that my Mom baked. I talked with Dad for sometime, and then came upstairs to bed. It certainly is lonely around here tonight. I miss you Sweetness, ever so much. Oh Pvt. Manley (can’t call you Mr. can I?) I love you so. [Page 2] (2.) You just be a good boy while your away. Cause if your not I’ll come after you, and beat you up. After I kiss you a couple thousand times of course. Your Sister, Edith said she’d call me sometime, make a date to go somewhere together. I hope so, because its gu-na be awful lonesome around here. It is now. I’ll call your mother sometime tomorrow, after school no doubt. I will keep in touch her Ned, don’t worry. Ned, I’m in love with you. Hope you don’t mind me writing it so much, but its all I can think of. You mean so much to me Dearest. Remember the little short fellow who lives in Hampshire? The one you worked with during the summer. I saw him tonight, he came running up the street behind me. As I was about to open the door he shouted “Ned Manley.” He must know you. By the way Sweet heart, how dose he know me? This is terrible writing, but it’s so hard for me write tonight. Im dead tired Darling. Too much �[Page 3] excitement.

Sweetheart – Called your Mother a short while ago. She said she’d let me know if she heard anything from you. Golly, I do hope you come home soon. I miss you so darling, and oh how I want to see and be near you again. Im sitting out on the front porch now. Its nice and cool – and I would’nt be surprised if we had some more rain today. We had quite a shower about 6 o’clock last night – but it did’nt last long. I went down and got little Johnny, last night. Golly but Ive missed him. He’s sitting here on the banister – singing. I took him down to the park this morning, and let him play in the sand box. He had a lot of fun – wants me to take him swimming tomorrow. Well Dad’s, on his vacation, but he’s been working all day. Darn, he makes me mad!! Called Norma, just before I called your Mother. She’s expecting her brother Bob [text strikethrough] {by} home soon. Bill, has two more weeks left of his furlough. Golly, but Im lonesome Ned. Wish you were here with me now. Bet-cha Id be busy – but not writting letters -- I bet-cha! I love you dearest, more than anything in this whole wide world. I always will too, always, forever, eternally, and everything. Johnny, was just telling me about his girlfriend. Says her name is Carol. He’s starting young – don’t-cha think? Wow – is he going to be a wolf when he’s about twelve years older. Wonder if he’ll be anything like Manley? Johnny, says he loves me too – when I ask him how much – he says – “pretty good”. (over) [Page 2] 2 Guess I’ll write Joeie, a few lines now – and then finish making dinner. I have some ice tea – and potatoe salad made already. Oh Ned, I only wish I were making dinner for you and I, and maybe someone else. I love you Ned, oh so very very much. Im yours forever – if you want me. I’ll close now, but I’ll write later tonight. Take good care of yourself – for me. �I’ll be loving you Always, Jeannie � 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.

Dearest Ned – Received a swell letter from you this morning. Golly, but it made me feel so wonderful all over. Your letters mean so much to me. Your Mother, phoned me today, to tell me you called her yesterday. Today is our “22nd Anniversary”. I was wishing you could be home today. I do hope you get home sometime this week.

Your letter always make me feel so warm and wonderful inside – and very happy. Don’t know what Id ever do with out you. You’re a part of me now Ned, so please don’t ever leave me. Got up at 9:30 this morning. Got dressed and went to the post office on 105th for Dad. Went and saw “Enchanted Cottage”. It was fair – but not as good as I thought it would be. Dad, got home early today for a change. He’s awfully tired – he’s sound asleep now. Won’t be working for two weeks now. Its been terribly warm all day. I think its going to rain – theirs a nice breeze now, but its thundering. Golly, I hope it is’nt too long now, before your home with me again. I want so much to be held close in your arms, and I want to kiss you like you’ve never been kissed before. I miss you so Darling. Just 22 months ago [text strikethrough] {tonight} today, you were with me all afternoon, and then in the evening you came back up to see me again. Must have been love right from the beginning Ned – it was with me – only I did’nt know it. I remember, I liked very much to have you kiss me – and I wanted to be near you all the time. Still do Sweetheart – golly how I wish you were here now. “Someday” I hope I can be with you for always, never to part, [Page 2] 2 I have your picture right here with me. Gee, but your wonderful though. Best looking boy in the whole wide world, and he belongs to me. Oh Ned, I love you so. I only hope and pray you love me always. Im going to close now, may be I’ll write more later. Im going to put my hair up in pin curls – and read a little. Take good care of yourself Ned – for me. �I’ll be loving 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.

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 wonderful letters from you today. Written the 27th (our 18th Anniversary and the 28th. So swell hearing from you Darling. I love you Ned, more then you’ll ever know. Your my whole life—on my mind day and night— and always in my heart. I just finished talking to your Mother a few minutes ago. I called her as soon as I got home. She sounds well Ned, and says everyone is fine. I do want to get down to see her soon. I went to see my friend Chandler this dull and rainy morning—and then went shopping. I stopped off at 105th on my way back to see “Meet Me In St. Louis” I did and it was wonderful. Ive been wanting to see it for sometime. After the show I stopped in the record shop—and got a couple records. Darn, I just can’t get “Always” I got “Don’t Fence Me In” and The Three Caballeros” by Der Bingle and The Andrew Sisters. Then for my Mom “Gon’na Build a Big [Page 2] (2.) Fence Around Texas” (remember how she was always singing it?) and “Angelina” by Johnny Long and Orchestra. I came on home then and looked up some of my cookie recipes. Went down to the store and mailed a couple letters. Had to get a few items—so I could bake the cookies. I was going to bake the cookies for you, but when I was talking to your mother, she said they were sending you a box. Now I don’t know what to do. Oh Ned—I love you so. I want to be near you. You said in your letter of the 28th, you wished you could have me in your arms all day (all night too) well thats the way I feel too. I want to be near you always. I don’t blame you for not making friends down there if you don’t like them, but gee it must get lonesome. If you want to get into the Air Corps—well then I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Just so your happy Dearest—that’s what counts most. �We will have our “Someday” Ned—but deffinately! Oh Ned, it will be so wonderful. [Page 3] 3. I’ll always love you Darling. Always- forever- eternally- and everything else. Your wonderful and the best look-in boy in the whole wide world. Golly, Im so lucky having you for my own. Im being a good girl for you Ned. Other boys don’t interest me in the least, please believe me. I love you—and you’re the only boy I ever want to kiss ever again. I do want to be held close in your arms—and hear you tell me you love me, oh just got “Hit Parade” on the radio- its just coming on. (So round so firm, so fully packed) No. 6 is “Don’t Fence Me In” Dad went bowling tonight. He seemed to be in a good mood. He still works too darn hard, but what can you do with a guy like that? Oh Pvt. Manley, if you were only here with me right now. (no. 8 - “Sweet Dreams Sweetheart”) As I was say before—if you were here Ned, Id give you one of those great big kiss’s One of those kiss’s you’d never forget. (no. 4 “Saturday Night”) [Page 4] (4.) Id never let you go Ned. Id just hold you close, and kiss you ever and over again. Saturday night sure is the loneliest night of the week. Its lonesome all the time. Theres always something missing, and its you. Oh Manley, how I love you. “Someday”, Im gon’na be Jeannie Mnaley. Gee, its going to be so wonderful being your wife. You take care of yourself Ned, until you come home to stay—and then I’ll take care of you. (no. 7-“More and More”) (no. 9. –“Rum and Coca Cola”) Don’t know what Im going to do tomorrow. Maybe I’ll take in a movie with Jean and Pat. They ask me too—but I was’nt sure I would. (Their now playing the “Army Air Corp” Song.) Im sitting here in the living room – in the big red chair. I have just this one light on- the only one one on downstairs here. My Mom and the kids went to wee “Meet Me in St. Louis” (no. 5 “My Dreamers Are Getting Better All The Time”) I told you Dad is bowling – so my Aunt and I are the only ones [Page 5] 5. �home, and she’s upstairs sleeping. Come on over Manley, Im lonesome. My hair is all over my head (cause [text strikethrough] I washed it) I have it up in back and down in back as usual. Most of my lipstick is off (because of eating—no other reason, honest) (no. 3 “A Little On The Lonely Side” - No. 2. “I Dream Of You.) Im wearing my grey skirt and purple blouse. Im really a mess- but this mess is very much in love with you Manley. (No. 1. “Actually The Positive”) Got your picture right here with me. Gee, your Handsome, drool – drool - slurp! I mean it though Ned, you [text strikethrough] are very handsome, and oh so very wonderful. I guess I’ll say Goodnight now Dearest, and play a few of your records until the flocks come home—then I’ll go to bed. Be good Darling. See you in dreamland- so get rid of those whiskers, cause your gon-na [Page 6] 6. get kissed Manley. Not once, not twice, but thousands of times. What flavor will you have Manley? Goodnight Sweetheart, Lovingly Yours, For Always, Jeannie P.S. “Someday” I’ll love you “Sunday Monday And Always” (Remember Aug. 27th, 1943.) � 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.

Dearest Ned ~ Dad and I went bowling tonight~ bowled three games apiece. I did’nt do too bad, but could have done better. I had a lot of fun with my Pops. On our way back home we stopped off at the drugstore, and had two milk shakes apiece. I tried to tell Dad, I have to watch my figure, but he would’nt listen to me. “Someday”, you can watch it for me, O.K.? I got up at 10:30 this morning, and made breakfast. I just loafed around the rest of the morning. Finally I took a shower—took my hair down—dressed and went out to a movie. I went with my Mother of course. We saw “To Have And Have Not” Your Mother called when I was out, to tell me you had called her. I called her back as soon as I got home. It [Page 2] did’nt surprise me—I had a feeling you were going to call me this morning. It would have mean’t so much to me just to hear your voice, but don’t bother telegraming your Mother from now on. Id rather you just call your Mother—and let it go at that. It certainly is lonely here tonight—more so then its been since you left. For some reason I feel completely lost. Oh well—I’ll get over it. Im feeling fine—and its good to hear your well. The family is well—and Dad said to tell you “hello”. I am now lying on what is still my Aunts bed. My hair is up in front – down in back as usual. Hardly any make-up on – and I’m not dressed. Chuck is’nt asleep yet, he’s just lying here beside me, talking away. What-a-pest! I do hope I have a letter from you tomorrow. Idn’t come home for lunch now you [Page 3] know, and I may go downtown tomorrow might after work, so I won’t read your letter until tomorrow night. �It was pretty nice out today, but chilly tonight. I hope it warms up, but I guess we’re in for some rainy and windy weather. Well Ned, Im getting awfully sleepy, so if you don’t mind too much I’ll say good night now. Be good, and take care of yourself. All my love— Always, Jeannie P.S. I do love you Ned, believe me I do. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
