I am researching a book entitled World War II Letters edited by Walter
Cronkite, which is a collection of letters from soldiers, both men and
women, to their friends, families, or sweethearts back home. This book
is aimed at capturing the war as seen through the eyes of participants
around the world. It will also depict the daily life of WWII soldiers.
World War II Letters will have letters from soldiers from every country
involved in the Second World War. WWII Letters will be published by
Knopf next year.

I am desperately seeking letters from countries other than the U.S.
(and am still collection American letters).

I may be contacted at the following address:

Ms. Tracy Quinn
Adler & Robin Books, Inc.
3000 Connecticut Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20008
U.S.A.
Telephone: 202-986-9275

Please note that I am looking for letters that have not been previously
published in any form. I must have either the letter writerÿffffc3ÿffffa2ÿffffe2ÿffff82ÿffffacÿffffe2ÿffff84ÿffffa2s
permission or someone who is able to give permission to reprint the
letter(s) in Mr. Cronkiteÿffffc3ÿffffa2ÿffffe2ÿffff82ÿffffacÿffffe2ÿffff84ÿffffa2s collection. (If the excerpt/letter is
selected to be included in the book, a permission letter will be sent
at a later date.) Please try to include the letter writerÿffffc3ÿffffa2ÿffffe2ÿffff82ÿffffacÿffffe2ÿffff84ÿffffa2s rank,
circumstances surrounding the time the letter was written, details of
soldierÿffffc3ÿffffa2ÿffffe2ÿffff82ÿffffacÿffffe2ÿffff84ÿffffa2s tour of duty, etc.basically, any additional information that
would add to the letter. Also, please include your complete contact
information so that I can stay in touch and let you know the progress
of the book. Lastly, please send only legible, photocopied letters
before the end of July, which is our deadline.

If you have any questions about this book, I would be happy to answer
them.

I really appreciate your help. Without your support, this book would
not be possible.

Sincerely,
Tracy
