Book excerpt: This collection consists mainly of letters written by Allen Paine Mills (1908-2002) to his mother, Mrs. Buell Paine Mills of Rochester, New York, while serving in the U. S. Navy during World War II (1942-1945). His letters give accounts of his daily routine in the Navy, along with his feelings toward Navy life and descriptions of his various jobs. Also included in the collection are letters from Allen Mills to his aunt, Mrs. Robert H. Jeffrey, in Columbus, Ohio, during the same period. Mr. Mills was successively stationed at Quonset Point, Rhode Island; Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, New York; Nantucket, Massachusetts; and San Francisco, California. Other correspondence in the collection is to Mrs. Buell Mills, apparently from various friends, mostly during the period from 1931-1941.
