On May 18, 1945, the Army Effects Bureau sent a letter to George Edwin Farrar’s mother regarding the disposition of his personal effects. The tone of the letter implied that it was a second request for information as to how to dispose of Farrar’s personal property that was still in the hands of the military. I wonder where these items had been stored since Farrar had been reported missing since September 28, 1944. I don’t have any record of the initial request.
