A collection of World War II-era military correspondence and ephemera documenting the communication between Paul R. Auerhamer and Miss Arlene M. Wolf. Auerhamer is identified in return addresses as ARTY 2nd USN with CASU #2 (Combat Aircraft Service Unit) Radio - B, stationed in the Hawaiian Islands. Arlene M. Wolf is addressed at Spar Barracks, 1501 Beacon St., Brookline, Massachusetts, identifying her as a member of the Women Coast Guard Reserve (SPARS). The collection features several multi-page autograph letters signed (ALS) by Auerhamer, including a four-page letter dated November 30, 1944, and a multi-page letter dated January 10, 1945.

Also included are two mimeographed newsletters titled C.A.S.U. SCOPE: The Eyes of the Unit, published by CASU 2. Visible issues include Vol. I, No. 3 (dated 25 April 1945) containing a memorial tribute to President Roosevelt and news of Harry Truman taking office, and Vol. I, No. 4 (dated 2 May 1945) with a hand-drawn cartoon cover signed by J.
