- Description:
- Folder of Cutler family correspondence that includes letters written by Henry Miles Cutler (1901-1950) to Hazel Beamer Cutler while he served in the Navy during World War II, which included daily updates from his posts in Norfolk, Virginia, and Newport, Rhode Island. Henry Miles Cutler expresses concern with purchasing a home when the war is over, not knowing where the family will be settling; he also describes life on an army base in Norfolk, the quality of the food he is eating, and his anticipation of leave, and desire to visit his wife and sons. There is a brief letter, possibly from Henry Miles Cutler's father, describing life on the farm in Barton, Vermont. The folder also includes correspondence from a friend of Hazel Beamer Cutler's named Craig P. Gilbert, stationed “somewhere in France” and Liverpool, England during World War I. He wrote several letters in 1918 that describes his frustration with not being able to provide her with details of his day-to-day life due to censorship of military correspondence; Gilbert also asks her to send copies of the Thomasville, Georgia newspaper to him.
