Background

Scope and content:

This collection contains 6 letters from Jerome "Yonie" Mulberg to his sister Shirley before deploying overseas during the Second World War.

His first letter was written before entering the service, July 10, 1942, though his induction date had been set. He wrote his next letter one day into serving in the Army from Fort Dix, New Jersey. He then moved to Fort Hamilton, New York and back to Fort Dix. He was attempting to get into the signal corps but was rejected, instead being assigned to the medical corps which he eventually found lucky as he was given an office in a dispensary. He extolled the advantages of this position to Shirley in his letter of August 24.

He goes on to describe his work in the next letter and in the final letter of the collection, dated November 20, 1942, he sent home some forms for Shirley to help him fill out before he arrives there on leave soon; the forms were related to his approval for foreign service.
