[Letter from Agnes Langley Niernberger, April 27, 1945]

Letter from Agnes Langley Niernberger to her family discussing daily life sailing to the Philippine Islands. She hopes that they will be finished sailing soon. She sleeps on the tennis deck and has gotten so used to being rained out that she covers her head and falls back asleep. Agnes spends her time with Dienst and Baird, who she mentions were married before leaving Topeha. They occasionally see the U.S. Orchestra and movies and there are always song-fests in the evenings.

[Letter from Agnes Langley Niernberger, April 22, 1945]

Letter from Agnes Langley Niernberger to her family telling them that she misses them and explaining why she could not have written sooner. She tells them that she cannot write much about her travels but that she is eating well, getting a tan, and has not gotten sea sick. She suggests her family pass the letter along, since it is futile to write letters to several people when there is nothing to write about.
