Monday Nite<\/p>\n
Dearest Mom:<\/p>\n
Two letters from you today! Swell! They were written Thurs & Fri of last week & I also got your letter written last Wed. I’m glad you liked your purse honey. I’m not a good picker-outer of women’s things so I hope it is suitable. I thought you might like something that came from about the ritziest store you ever saw!<\/p>\n
I had a nice week-end in Washington. Am getting quite familiar with the town & riding these fast trains etc. I spent most of my time at the YMCa USO. Im appalled at the free entertainment, & food furnished soldiers in the larger cities. They really take care of you. I slept Sat nite at a USO for 50. I’ve been on KP again today. Nuff said. Glad you gave me Jess’ address. I’ll write her a card right now. I’ve meant to write her & tell her Im sorry I didn’t even have time to call her when I went thru Atlanta. I nearly missed my connection there.<\/p>\n
Honey, maybe I forgot to tell you, but please don’t mention to anyone any of my comments about what I might do or my outfit leaving etc. I’m really not sposed to mention those things to you all.<\/p>\n
Still no news of what they intend to do with me. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear something.<\/p>\n
Dad I’m glad you had your picture made. Mom writes they were good & I know they must be with such a subject!<\/p>\n
Well, honies, I gotta get up at 3 am tomorrow & serve on KP till 7am so better go to bed. Surely enjoy your letters, Mom, & would like to hear from you too Dad. You all take good care of yourselves and you can be sure that I’m taking care of my self too.<\/p>\n
Love always<\/p>\n
