This photo above of Dave was a whole year before the letter below was written by his grandfather on the same day.
This letter to his son Grover Morgan is mostly about the car that Grover is to drive when he gets home from the army.
Grover's brother, Paul, was able to get new tires and needed to get a new battery for the car.
This photo of Harry and Dave was July 1947, but notice Dave is still wearing the same hat that he wore 3 years earlier.
Grover Davis Morgan, Jr. above in November 1945. The letter below is to Grover D. Morgan's family living in Alexandria, Louisiana from his father H. B. Morgan in West Viriginia.
The page above tells about Fall coming and his son Mason's work on the garage.
His son Paul has also been helping out. Bread delivery drivers are on strike.
H.B. thinks it's funny seeing people carrying flour to make bread when they probably don't have any shortening.
Finally, he assures Grover that he and his family can live and work on the farm when he gets out of the army. He's afraid Eloise will start to like the milder climate in Louisiana. He also mentions that Mason's wife Libby is sick, but her mother Mrs. Porter is taking care of her and the family.

Then he talks about the tires that are needed on the spare car Grover wants to use when he gets back home. They can't get any tires because the "car is non essential."
H. B. wonders "if transferring the title would enable you to get tires".
Ellice Smith Morgan wrote this letter to his son, Grover D. Morgan, and his family who were living in Alexandria, Louisiana where Grover was stationed during World War II.
She writes about the possibility of a coal strike. But she also mentions her son Mason helping build the garage and that Harry (her grandson) reminds her of Mason when he was small.
Above she writes about Lowell and his piano playing. Then she mentions that her husband (H.B.) was sowing rye.
Her son, Paul, who just returned from to the United States, earned "another stripe"---he got a promotion in the Army. She ends with "Tell Eloise & Boys I still miss them on Sundays and love to all." 
Eloise and "Boys"---Davis and Harry. July 14, 1945 Alexandria, LA.
Above is Grover Davis Morgan, Jr. in Alexandria, Louisiana (Sept. 29, 1945) where his father was stationed in World War II. Doesn't this photo speak volumes about his life at that time?
The letter is from Harry Byron Morgan to his son Grover D. Morgan who was stationed at Esler Field, Louisiana. H. B. was a mine supervisor so he first talks about the mines and the possibility that the government (Govt) will be taking over the mines.
This B-24 Bomber didn't usually fly into Esler field, but had difficulties.
I think H. B. must be talking about the car which he said Grover could have when he gets out of the army.
This letter from Ellice Smith Morgan was written to Grover Morgan stationed in Louisiana. She talks about her visitors which included Clifford Morgan pictured above. She also talks about her work on the farm. Double click on the letter to enlarge it.
Her second page ends the same each time---she misses her grandsons.
Uh, Dave, did you notice Harry's elephant is bigger?
This note is from Harry Byron Morgan to his son Grover D. Morgan who was in the army at Esler Field, Louisiana. In the page above, he says that another son Paul Morgan is home and looking good.
Grover Morgan is at the right.
The rest of the note talks about the coal industry and his belief that the "rich uncle" (Uncle Sam or the Federal government) would be taking over the mines.
Ellice Morgan wrote to her son Grover Morgan in the Army at Esler Field, Louisiana. She thanks her grandson Harry for his letter, but her good news is that her son Paul Morgan is on his way home and has already shipped his clothes to his wife Janice. She also mentions that her son Clifford Morgan has recently visited with his wife Ethel and son Garrett with Aunt Sarah (who "lives at Walnut Akers")
She mentions that she sent Harry a book.
Davis-Harry Alexandria, LA (9/22/1945)
The letter dated Sept. 28, 1945 is mostly Paul---Janice had met him in "Greensburough". She also tells a little about her husband's work, tells Grover he can have her car---Garner says he can ride a bus to school. (Dave says he never knew she could drive a car) It turns out the book she sent Harry in the letter above was his ration book.
She reveals that she dug 12 bushels of potatoes, the wind is blowing like winter. The good thing about winter is "Xmas". Finally, her P.S. celebrates Paul is home, but thin at 180 lbs.

These letters are from Dave's grandfather Harry B. Morgan to Dave's family living in Louisiana near Esler Field in 1945. H.B. Morgan and his sons that were home were working on a garage which would include an apartment for Dave's family.
He mentions that he needed to go to Cleveland, Ohio, which I think must have been for business. He also discusses "applying" for a new car.
