Dear Mom:
In order to put my personal affairs in order I want you to do this for me.
- Get all my insurance policies out and send me the following details for each policy
1. Name of Company
2. Number of Policy
3. Amount of Policy
4. War clauses if any in policy
5. Double indemnity or not
6. Who is designated as beneficiary?
It would clear matters up if you could & would transfer the policies to me. Then I could arrange for the government to pay the premiums for me. Lois could then be assured of getting prompt payment. As it is matters will be mixed up.
Louis should be my first beneficiary
Kenny ” ” ” second ”
They are my family mother, and as I cant get any more insilian[?] life insurance I want them
to be my direct beneficiaries. I have money enough and am capable of taking care of it now. The government arranges for premium payment.
I want to arrange all my personal affairs so that If I am killed there won’t be any delay or trouble in settling my estate. This is war and there is a chance of me not coming back so I would thank you forever if you could arrange for this.
Write me right away because I have to have all my personal affairs cleaned up in as soon a time as I can. It is one thing that the US demands of all officers.
Everything is fine here Im getting along swell. The weather is foggy now but It’s still better than Miami Beach. Tell everyone hello for me. Ill be seeing you.
Your son
Bill
