Scope and Contents
Less than a quarter of a linear foot of correspondence from John R. Weber, a radio operator on MAC-V Advisory Team 25, to Bobby Underwood, a boy scout in Dallas, Texas. Bobby requested a soldier as a pen pal, and John Weber responded. The letters primarily date from 1970, with several more from 1971 and 1972. This collection also includes two newspaper clippings regarding the Underwood family's involvement in Vietnam, two photos of John Weber, and a card from the parents of John Weber to Bobby Underwood.
