    Wow! What an interesting find! I read Letter #1 - it's from a wife of a man who was evidently very mean to her and their children. So she wrote a letter to the draft board asking that they QUICKLY draft him into the Army to get him away from them! I did a search and found the man I believe to be the one mentioned, and I attached this letter as a source. It's not a very complimentary letter, but it's real. Do you think it's okay to attach a negative source to a person?

    @Glenn R Whicker I attach EVERYTHING I can find… no matter how good/bad it makes the person seem. I see it as part of their life and history, and may help others with clues/brick walls etc. not everyone would agree with this, but everyone has their own way of doing things. I guess at the end of the day, it’s up to the researcher :/
