General Notes (Husband)

---

In a letter from Lawrence to Robert L. Armstrong dated 8/3/41
Lawrence is in Mt. Enterprise, Robert is in CC Camp in Colorado.
Mostly silly stuff but he says he is loading pulpwood down at Teneha (south of Carthage on hwy 59). He went to Kilgore (the same as saying he went drinking) three weeks ago and saw his Shorty working at the Circle Y.

Another letter dated 9/14/41
Lawrence bought a new car - a Whippet 6, and it runs good. Now he can go see his Shorty. Tooter and Leon (Kelly) were here since Saturday. They borrowed Uncle Walter's (Kelly) car and tried to make a curve going to fast.Tthey wrecked the car, rolled it over, but didn't get hurt.

In a letter to Neeley Armstrong dated 11/9/43
APO New York to Mt. Enterprise
He has a cold. He can't tell her where he is (national security), but he likes it better than where he was before.

Johnnie Mills b. 2/25/1908 d. 12/12/1990 Laneville, 449-09-6320
