Harris-Harris letter

Description:	Letter from John Harold Harris (1916-1987) to his wife Alice Clair Honan (1920-1986). Harris served as a U.S. Army cook in the Pacific Theatre. [partial letter]I’ve had a fairly good time this PM. I found a chess player about my equal and we’ve been playing quite a lot. We have a newspaper that we receive and in each issue is a sketch of hometowns. I have a friend on this papers staff so he asked me to write about Ft. Wayne. I finished this a few minutes ago. It will be published in the near future and I hope that I will be allowed to cut out this article and send it to you. Another Fort Wayne boy on the ship that I had never known & I got together with this. Actually I wrote the article & he reminded me of some of the things that should be told. The new screen actress Marilyn Maxwell (you probably know of her) is an old friend of mine. I used to double date with her. She dated Bob Bastress. This fellow got a magazine out and showed me the hometown girl made good. I hadn’t heard. I want to get this mailed so that it can be censored & mailed at the first place possible—Love, Harold
