An original World War Two letter including the envelope written by Irving Conniwell. The letter is dated Sept. 19, 1945. In the letter he talks about a prisoner of war who says he had his watch stolen. The letter reads:
Dearest Sweetheart,
Getting an early start on your letter for today but I haven't much to write about as it has been an unusually dead day today........Once more I am interupted this time about a watch that one of the PWs claims to have had stolen from him by a colored soldier. We have been investigating the watch deal for about two weeks already. I have a watch now and the PW claims it is his but the fellow from whom I got the watch says he bought it in the PX. Pretty mixed up as there are so many of the same types of watches sold at the PX. I think that the best thing to do is to forget all about the PWs claim as after all he is a PW and who is he to say that an american soldier stole his watch. These Koreans have been trying to pin something on the colored boys for a long time. Most of our troubles up here revolves around the PWs and the colored troops who are stationed here....................................Irv
The letter is in very good condition, with some light wear.
