Show .V J Jlett&i tyiotn Jlone most all of the way from Alaba ma. And, boy! What's the .arms ; done for that guy. (It's all right, to say that to you, I presume I , have to be careful with Bob and Joe and the other kids. They're terribly sensitive about not bein0 in uniform yet.) Dick was telling me he went down to the plant and saw his old boss. And he told Dick that when he gets out of the army there's be a better job than he had before waiting for him. Isni ,oii? Things like that make HI, SOLDIER: The gang will be along in a few minutes to go skating, but I've just about got time to dash this off. You should see your sweet little sister in her new skating suit made with my own lily white hands, I want you to know! The skirt is bright red naturally, since I picked the color and since it's made out of my old veleteen drss and the jacket is black and whit checks bound with red braid. (You may miss your old checked sport jacket when you get home but there were moth holes in some of it.) It's a pretty snarky outfit if I do say so. The ice has been wonderful this week, though I've nobly stayed at home every night well, nearly every night to finish the old term paper for English. My subject sub-ject is "Shakespeare and the Supernatural." Sup-ernatural." Ugh! With all the terrific ter-rific things that are going on in the world right now! Buzzy Allen expects to be inducted in-ducted any day now. Roger Barnes was shipped last week. Dick was home for two days stood up al- everyone feel better, don t they . Made a batch of cookies for my mailing list this morning. Mother says I keep the army simply gorged. I'm sending you a box, oy the way. Used up about a roll or waxed paper. Let me know how they come through. Incidentally, I can't join the WACs until I'm 20! Apparently the army agrees with the family that 17 is too young. Boy, I'd like to, though. Here come the kids. So 'bye for now and be good. Loads of love, SIS |
