This collection contains three correspondence from Sergeant Jack B. Kotok, United States Army to his aunt Gertrude Fisher
and his cousin Ronald Fisher during the Second World War. In one letter, Kotok wrote about "Zeke" who, according to the donor,
is Kotok's brother Lester, who was killed in the invasion of Normandy. He also talked about his wife in this letter. In another
letter, he referred to his high school, Sam [the donor's father], and how Kotok's mother was feeling after the death of Lester.
Enclosed with this letter was a seperate note to the donor and his brother. And the third letter is just Kotok asking about
life back home.
