I uploaded them as an image as .jpg. Would I have to rescan them? Or could I upload them on to like gimp and fool around with 'em there till I can upload them?


No, photobucket allows .jpg
hmmm, if you like I could take a look at them for you. see if you can send them as attachments in a pm.

To ease the burden on your fingers from copying those letters to your computer, you might want to consider getting some letter recognition software, if your scanner can use it  :aok.  But anyway, great stuff to read, and let's see if those pictures can get up

The letters will take a little bit longer than expected, as there's a 3 ring binder that's about 5 inches thick full of letters my grandfather wrote from the war, I'm trying to re-scan the book on the computer to see if it was just my terrible skills at using electronics(which it probably is)

Haha, I've been trying, I just don't know why they won't upload. I think I'm gonna give it one more try to mediafire, and then I'll just take a pic with my phone or something and try that.

I was checking my e-mail and saw that you found the 45th group on Yahoo.  Those guys will fill you in quite well.  A number of them spend time at the National Archives with the daily reports etc for the 45th Division.  Expect lots of mail from them :)

As a Mauldin fan, I hope you can get the scans of the sketchbook to work.
