Letters Between William H. Sager, Elizabeth Mopsik Sager, and Friends, August 5, 1942, January 23 - May 25, 1945

This folder contains 11 items, including letters from William H. Sager to his wife, Elizabeth Mopsik Sager, and one letter from Harry Sager. The correspondence focuses on William’s daily life at camp, including descriptions of his new address, living conditions, food, books, military duties, and travel between camp and nearby cities. He writes often about the Happy Valley Military Academy, his responsibilities there, and social interactions with officers, generals, and other servicemen. A major theme is Elizabeth’s pregnancy, as William frequently asks after her health and their unborn child, reflects on becoming a father, and responds warmly to her descriptions of the baby. He also discusses family matters, finances, mail delays, packages, and plans for their future home together. There are also references to larger wartime events, such as memorial services for President Roosevelt and Japanese propaganda broadcasts.
