Show Letter Box . . My Dear Mr. Beckwith, Am enclosing money order for this year's subscription to the paper. pap-er. I am still working for the New Orleans and Northern Railroad Co. of the Southern Railway System. We haven't been as busy for the past six months as we were for the preceeding two and one half years. I am happy to report that my wife's brother, Sgt. Oran Stoddard, was able to come down and stay a week with us. He had a thirty-day furlough, after spending full three years in Alaska. He also spent a couple of weeks with the married brother and his wife, M-S George Stoddard of Blythe, California. He is in the bee business there. My wile and I took advantage of this year's lull in business during dur-ing March, and visited her sister, and her husband, Cpl. and Mrs. Frank J. Lekan of Hopewell, Virginia. Vir-ginia. Cpl. Lekan and his wife are now visiting his mother in Cleveland, Cleve-land, Ohio. He expects to be sent overseas soon. Cpl. Lekan is in the Quartermaster Corps. I saw Fred Thompson about a year ago down in Laurel, Miss, one day. That town is on or railroad, and is Fred's hometown. I don't think you will remember Fred, but he was a very close friend of Roy E. McLeod, in the old days out at Antelope Springs, since they finished finish-ed high school together and were boyhood chums. You see I've run out of anything interesting, so I'll close. Your friend and reader, Robert Davenport |
