Dear Mom + Pop:

I just received your letter today and came over to the library to answer it.

We just had our graduation exercises this morning and it turned out pretty nice. The Center Commando gave a little talk and then we filled up on the stage to get our certificates.

We’re moving to another barrack for a few days but the address will be the same.

A few of us are going to Hollywood on our final days so I’ll be sure and let you know how it is. I was up there on a 36 hour --- but it wasn’t long enough. I think I go to Tom Brenams and eat breakfast there. You never can tell I might even get on the radio.

It’s good news to hear that you are feeling better. Just don’t let anything up set you, that’s the main thing.

Thanks again for the money and that will be plenty.

Well I guess I’ll close now. All my love,

Alfred
