George Johnston and Evelyn Carde Smith Johnston Correspondence, 1935-1970s and undated

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/j/Johnston,George_and_Evelyn_Carde_Smith_Johnston.html

George Johnston (known as Max) was a private in the United States military who traveled with a military band during World War II. Johnston married Evelyn Carde Smith in 1943. The collection is primarily correspondence between Private George Johnston (known as Max) and Evelyn Carde Smith Johnston, who seems to have lived in Clayton, N.C. Most of these letters were written during their courtship, when Max traveled with a military band during World War II and performed at Fort Bragg, N.C.; Richmond, Va.; and Pensavola, Fla. Topics include family affairs, finances, and Max's travels. Also included are greeting cards from family members congratulating the couple on their marriage and later on the birth of their daughter.
