A handwritten page from a wartime letter reveals the personal side of military correspondence during World War II. The writer requests a new photograph, jokes about decorating quarters with popular 'Vargas Girls' pin-up calendar art by illustrator Alberto Vargas, and playfully scolds two friends for not writing. Letters like this one, exchanged between servicemen and loved ones at home, offered comfort, humor, and connection across the distance of war, and remain valuable records of everyday life and morale during the conflict.
