Dear Sisters:
Here I am
again, believe it or not. We surely got
winter in a hurry out in this neck of the woods for we now have about 10 inches
of snow and it isn’t any too bright looking.
I go on K.P. at 3:30 A.M., a nice thought I must say, but that is how it
goes and I guess it is my turn.
Mary is not
feeling so good. She came home for lunch
on Thursday and said she felt lousy, so I made her go to the doctors. He said she had to stay in for a few days and
gave her sulfa to take. She surely was
funny, after she took it, she’d kind of get knocked
out for a couple of hours. She is much
better and expects to go to work tomorrow.
We had rabbit for dinner today; bought it at the market. It surely was very good and we really
finished it.
I have a
couple of letters to answer so will get at it now. Yeah I know who you mean that was dead. P.L.M. means production line maintenance that
is (where) they pull the big inspections on the planes 50 hours inspecting and
up. M O.S.747 is a classification number
for airplane mechanics. It is 747 every
shell has a different number as for the M.O.S. I never did get to figure that
out but it is the 747 that mean the most.
We saw “Frenchman’s Creek” a couple of weeks ago and we also thought it
was good. I like your new Paper
Kathryn. It really is [nice]. I like that flower scene; it is the same as
Too bad that Ralph W’s wife lost
his business. She never was much good
and I guess she just left it go to the dogs.
Yeah I listen to that program (where) they tell jokes they are pretty
good some times. Yes I got the check O.K. thanks for sending it. Boy the cake was very good and it surely
didn’t last very long I must say.
It surely
looks like the Russians are all out to lick the Germans. I surely hope they can keep going at their
present pace, but I am afraid it will be like ourselves. As long as we were going toward
It seems
like the Japs are really being pushed around plenty
and they aren’t very strong on
Hope you
are all O.K. and remain that way.
So
Long
Love
