    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A three-page letter home from Francis, dated March 14, 1944. The letter included a flower (possibly a carnation) that has stained the pages. The paper is quite thin, and is watermarked &quot;American Trust Bond.&quot; In the letter, Francis congratulates a family friend who is getting married, and lists off several places that he&#039;s been during his service, and says that there are several other places but he can&#039;t tell them yet. He also states that his appearance has changed drastically, and nobody at home would recognize him, also saying he&#039;d love to surprise everyone when he&#039;s granted his first &quot;liberty in the States.&quot; He signed off &quot;your son Francis,&quot; and wrote Francis Ogrodnik WT 2/C OSNR&quot; along the bottom of the final page. The envelope is addressed to Mr. Joseph Ogrodnik, and is stamped &quot;PASSED BY NAVAL CENSOR&quot; with initials in the middle of the stamp. The envelope&#039;s postmark is dated 1945; it&#039;s unclear if this envelope was mistakenly placed with this letter, or if the letter&#039;s sending was significantly delayed by the Navy/armed forces.]]></dcterms:description>
