Friday

Dear Folks:

Here me again, we are still marking time, out classes do not start until Monday so I am going to write everyday that I can because my letters will be most scarce when we do get down to work.

Mom, the people go out of their way to do things for us. There have already been a flock of invitations for us to come to dinner. A Multi-millionaire in town has invited us out but we can’t go yet. We are quarantined.

One of the boys on the train got the measles on the way down so we will be kept pretty close at first.

Mom, here is another favor I want to ask. Please got to town and get me (2) two of these little bags to keep shaving equipment in. I want one for shaving and one for shoe polish. They are about 10 or 12 inches tall and have a draw string at the top and they are army color. I sure hope you can find then because I really need them and soon.

I think we have a little short of a paradise here. I am more than satisfied with the whole setup. This idea of going to college and getting paid for it is most all right by me.

Mother, you’re boy is really going to get some good out of this war after all. I will get about equal to a 2 year college education in 5 months.

Mom, here is a folder on Decatur, Ill. you might like to see.

Will write more next time.

All my love to you all,

Roy

Mom, please get me about 3 or four packages of this little note book paper. (Miller’s Book Store)
