Abstract:  Letters, January-October 1943, from George Seibert in
Marine Corps training at Camp Lejeune, N.C., and the Marine Corps
Air Station at Cherry Point, N.C., to his wife Jean in West
Hartford, Conn.  Seibert, who progressed from private to staff
sergeant during this time and took charge of warehouse accounting
and distribution of supplies at Cherry Point, wrote chiefly about
camp life--movies he saw, beer he drank, duties he performed--and
arrangements for Jean's visits to North Carolina or his visits
home to Connecticut.  He also commented on Jean's activities in
Connecticut, encouraging her to socialize more, but not too much,
and wrote about his studies and visits to nearby towns, but gave
little detail on either of these topics. Also included are a few
letters to Jean from Seibert's friends.
