Summary

Letters written by George Oswald to his future wife Flossie/Flo (Florence) (1917-1918), and one letter written by George and Florence to their unborn child (1919). The letters are signed 'Craig', for unknown reasons, possibly to avoid confusion with Florence's brother and father who were also named George. The handwriting of these letters changes from the letters written to his family, to mimic Florence's handwriting. See transcripts for more details.
