Letters from William H. Sager to Elizabeth Mopsik Sager and Ruth to Elizabeth Mopsik Sager, June 13 - July 8, 1942

This folder contains 10 letters and 2 postcards, primarily written by William H. Sager to his wife, Elizabeth Mopsik Sager, documenting their ongoing correspondence during William’s wartime travel and deployment. The materials trace William’s movements by train across the United States, including long rail journeys, crossing the continental divide, details of his train compartments, porter Harris, station activity, and the anticipation of arrival, as well as his later sea voyage and daily life aboard ship. Throughout the letters, William repeatedly expresses affection and concern for Elizabeth’s health, reassures her of his love, comments on censored mail, and discusses practical matters like allotment checks, graduation, piano lessons, and household affairs. Several postcards provide mailing addresses, personal messages, and illustrated or novelty content. The folder also includes a letter from Ruth to Elizabeth, offering home-front news, including attending a wedding, visits from friends, and a recent blackout.
