Bizarre lot! Most letters from PFC Albert Lee Costello 13024048, a machine gunist stationed somewhere in the Pacific. Writes a series of love letters to Miss Annie Fizer during 1943 and 1944. Letters get gradually more affectionate with time until a sudden unexpected hand-written pornographic short story is included in a letter. WARNING: THIS LOT OF LETTERS CONTAINS LANGUAGE AND IMAGINARY OF AN EXTREM NATURE. Lot contains other letters from PFC John Gnietzer 13025333 and Corporal C. Hapas 35607807 to the same woman.
