WWII-New Guinea Entertainment. Ink drawing of three men playing music in front of a microphone and standing onstage. "Santos Huerta" written on the side at 90 degrees. On the bottom up-side-down is written the names of the musicians, "Bob, Hill, John Under, John, Andover, Mass." "Provost 260028 Lt. John Kellis" written in fading pencil at 90 degrees. Verso: "Your Horoscope for March" "Mar 1 - 20 Pisces" "Pisces seeks salvation within himself, striving always for self-sufficiency, self-knowledge and effacement of self. His aim is deep and worthy, and if he does not succeed, it is because of the difficulty of the goal rather than because he does not try. His early aim appears material, because he knows instinctively that the search for self goes on most successfully if physical wants are not a source of worry. But he is not always equipped by nature for the give-and-take of commerce, and often feels himself a failure when he should not. His 'Failure' is more often than not that of a square peg in a round hole. When he finds his noncommercial place of service, love, understanding, he goes far toward the deep kind of satisfaction that is his personal, and therefore true, success. Because his aim is different, he tries ill-advisedly to accommodate himself to what he thinks he ought to be instead of following what his heart and instinct tell him. And because he wishes deeply to do the right thing, he becomes bewildered and lost in the business of living. It all comes about because he has allowed himself to be distracted from his true desires--and because in following ab uncongenial and unfamiliar path his feet stumble. He thinks he is misunderstood--but this is true only because he misunderstood himself, tried to pal himself off for something that he wasn't, and found he didn't have the heart to go through with it. When he is being his truest, deepest self he is crystal clear--unselfish, sweet, lovable, devoted, demanding little, giving much, eager always to sacrifice himself for others. It is only in the presence of the material world, when he tries to submerge the sweetness which he may come to be ashamed of, that he is unhappy. It is then he becomes demanding, jealous, unreliable [sic], self-deceived, and perhaps even deceptive--because he is trying to force his meditative spirit into a harness where it must try to be something it isn't. Let Pisces follow his heart, his conscience, his inner desire for service, self-realization and self-knowledge, and the world be damned, and he is the happiest, most useful of mortals, living comfortably with deep spiritual truths that give him an almost mystic grip on other people and on the reins of his own life." Maurice explained that any scrap of paper was used to do a drawing or sketch. Horoscope on the back is connected to his birthday on the 11th of March. He must have found a horoscope somewhere and used it for the drawing. Maurice.1629 -

A man sits in right profile and looks intently at a tabletop monitor; several more computer stations extend to his left in a sunny, bright room. He has medium skin tone, and his black dreadlocks include shades of green and red. He wears a black sweatshirt with a gold chain, and sunglasses hang from the neckline. His right wrist rests on the table and fingers at the middle of the keyboard. His left hand loosely covers his mouth, the elbow resting on the table; a tattoo is partly visible at his wrist. Further away from us, a table with two monitors and keyboards is unoccupied, and two people occupy the furthest table and computer stations. One has light-red hair and a light-blue hoodie; the other has medium skin tone, black hair, and a coral shirt. -

A transman in head and shoulders, right profile speaks animatedly. In front of him, on our right, is an incomplete work of art; behind him, on our left, a woman looks on. He has light skin tone, close-cropped brown hair and scruffy beard and mustache; he wears a dark gray work shirt, a large, round, black earring, a triple band earcuff, and a blue wooden pencil tucked behind his ear. His mouth partially open, he looks slightly downward to a person outside the frame of the photo, and we see just his thumbs and adjacent fingers gesturing and holding a blurred palette knife. The woman, from behind his left shoulder, looks at the same person with a closed-mouth smile. She has medium skin tone and dark brown hair pulled back; she wears a black scoop-neck t-shirt and a gold hoop earring. On the right, we see a portion of two images mounted vertically on a black panel with blue tape. They have an identical composition: a sphere upon a cube upon a plane surface. Lines and shadows provide three-dimensionality. The top image is grayscale, and the bottom image is orange. -
WWII-Natives/New Guinea. Ink drawing of a native (upper torso, shoulders, and head). Labeled, "Raroro." Maurice explained this native posed for him who worked on a plantation. The British had a number of coconut, and banana plantations; they would put a tax on some of the coastal natives and require the tax payment in money. They would take them from their village and move them work on a plantation, where they would stay there until they made enough money to pay the tax. The tags this native is wearing is a plantation identification tag. The earrings were newspapers or comic strips tucked in extended ear lobes. Maurice describes this drawing in his letter dated 1944-11-26_27 saying, "In the sketch of Raroro (that was the name given on his dog tag) that roll he was protruding from his left ear lobe is a roll of paper just for [scratched out word] ornament. The lobe and the complete edge of his right ear are pierced by small colored rings. They completely circle the ear. Just above that, sticking out of his hair is the end of a native comb. I haven’t shown it very well. They are made of split bamboo and are smoothing like this: [sketch of comb] when I first saw one I thought it was a fish hook. These natives put anything colorful on their hair. Raroro [scratched out word] had no decoration in his hair but had the top dyed red." Maurice.1714 -

WWII-Natives/New Guinea. Ink sketches of two natives, with text written around the edges: "Both these natives had reddish hair, which I am told they acquire by means of a vegetable dye. Two natives who came through our area selling grass skirts and native knives. The one in the large sketch wore white bathing trunks and had a blue green bag on his back. In his hand he carries a knife, a sort of short javelin and three grass skirts for sale at one pound each (3.20). A brown band circled his arm above the elbow & there were a series of bands around his right leg below the knee. The lower native carried two bags. The one on his left was blue green the other one red. Again the bands around arm and leg. This one wore some tan GI under shorts. The arm & leg bands are made of snakeskin." Maurice explained the natives also use peroxide for dying their hair. They stole it from the medical dispensary. Also a favorite to steal was red toothbrushes and plastic brushes. They would cut off the bristles, steam them to bend and use them for nose rings, earring, etc. Maurice.1702 -

Misc./New Guinea. Ink drawing of a man sitting on a desk chair and reading a magazine. At the bottom in pencil is the label, "Gene Godfader". Verso: "17 September 1943." Maurice explained Goldfader was the best man at his wedding and in the ASTP (Army Specialized Training Program) with him. Goldfader wanted to be a radio announcer so he would sit there with his hands cupped behind his ears reading material so he could get used to hearing his own voice. Maurice.1635 -
