Linwood and Esther Aldrich lived in Norwich, Connecticut. Married in September 1942, Linwood Aldrich worked for the Thermos Bottle Company as a sealer and Esther was employed at the Lee and Osgood Company as a stenographer. At the beginning of the correspondence in July 1943, Linwood (882nd Signal Co.) is based in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is shipped out to England in November, only days before he was scheduled to have his first leave to visit home. Aldrich was transferred to France in November 1944. The correspondence ends a month later.
