This collection contains two letters from CCM Clarence Joseph Adams, USN to his family during the Second World War. The letters
were sent two months apart after he heard of the arrival of his daughter, the donor, Sally Ann Adams, and the second letter
addresses her directly. In the first letter, CCM Adams tells his wife about his excitement at receiving a telegram informing
him of Sally Ann's arrival and he and the other chiefs had cigars.
