10 September 1947.

 

Dear Mom and Pop:

            I just received your letter and the key today. It wasn’t my locker key, but it was a key to one of the desks in the office. Hardly anyone uses it and I didn’t even miss it.

            I suppose that I’ll be home the weekend of the 20^th, but if anything comes up I’ll write and let you know. Walker had planned on his being off the 20^th and I thought that I would have to work and then be off the 27^th. He didn’t notice it either so I guess it will stay that way. He told some friends of his in Allentown that he’d be up the 20^th, so maybe we’ll switch weekends again, but I doubt it.

            Well I don’t have anything to write about so I’ll close these few lines for now.

            All my love,

                                                Alfred.
