Subseries 1: V-mail and wartime correspondence, 1943 - 1945

This subseries contains 55 V-mails, six letters, two postcards, and two death notices. Of the 55 V-mails, all except for three are from a “Pfc. (later Cpl.) J.R. Dobson”, who signs his letter “Dick”. He worked at the Lexington Market across from the Purity Creamery where Treva worked. Dick was married to a woman named Thelma, and in his letters he thanks Treva for watching out for his wife. Of the other three V-mails, one is from William F. Wossowsky, and two are from R.D. Brumet. All six of the letters are from Dick, five are from his training days at Camp Lee and in Western Pennsylvania, and the last letter contains a picture of Dick in uniform. The two postcards in this subseries date from 1967-68 and were sent to Treva from a vacationing Dick and Thelma. The two death notices are for Dick and Thelma. (Note: the first folder in this subseries contains the three V-mails that are from William Wossowsky and R.D. Brumet even though chronologically they should come later. This was done to maintain the integrity of Dick’s correspondence.)
