This collection of letters describes experiences of men in non-combat roles during World War II and encounters with other Lehigh graduates in the military. The creator of this collection was an observer of life in the military and also a humorous sketch artist.

Morton Ernest Sultzer, Class of 1912, was an active alumnus of Lehigh University, who befriended and helped many students to complete their college educations during the Great Depression era. The material here is compiled in a loose-leaf notebook with letters to and from Mr. Sultzer and 16 students that he helped during the 1930s, documenting the students' on-campus and off-campus lives and their personal, educational and economical struggles.
