Mon Nite<\/p>\n
Mother Dearest<\/p>\n
Just a note to let you know I leave here tomorrow & that I received your letter of the 19th enclosing that ponderous epistle from Rip.<\/p>\n
I had a wonderful long letter from Macey today which explained what he is doing in detail. I’ll answer it first chance I get. Funny if he winds up in the foot soldiery too huh?<\/p>\n
Mom, you all take it easy about me as I’m not in any danger yet. I could still not get sent across, so just sit tight & see what happens & I’ll keep you posted. I’m fine & all ready to go tomorrow. My duffel bag was shipped today & I’ll wear my pack gas mask, helmet etc. and probably won’t see the duffel bag again till I get overseas.<\/p>\n
Macey had received the snapshot of me. he said I’d lost weight!<\/p>\n
I heard from Louise today written Sat nite after I talked to her. She said she called you all Sat nite & talked to you Dad. I wish I could have talked to you both.<\/p>\n
I’m glad Phyllis got along all right. Tell Alice etal I asked to be remembered to them – also Grandma & Dixie.<\/p>\n
There’s no further news, folks. I just wanted you all to know I was thinking of you & let you know as much as I know at the present time. Good nite for now, honies. You’re both mighty sweet and I’m sure looking forward to getting home. In the meantime take care of yourselves & write as often as you can. Mail addressed here will be promptly forwarded till you get my APO #.<\/p>\n
Love always<\/p>\n
