Sunday 10th

 

 

Dear Catty:

 

            That was a very nice letter – your last one. I’m sure glad everyone was satisfied with their presents, and in Iddy’s last letter, she said her orchid was gorgeous. She says she’ll have dates with me when I come home too.

            And speaking of coming home – we’re authorized leaves now, and I’ll be getting 15 days most anytime. I’m going to try to get it the 1st of March to the 15th. I would wait until May but we’re contemplating being on maneuvers at that time. Will tell you more about this when I see you.

            Whatta you mean – good picture? I thought it was lousy. But the one you should over about the 18th, is pretty good. Will also enclose Ruth’s and Jill’s with it. I’m liking Jill more each date we have. She’s just as versatile as Lillian, and a much better dancer. Also makes about 150 a month. Last night, we stayed at her barracks, as she had a temperature of 102. I hope she’s better by tonight, as we have chance for a ride into town. I haven’t been out of camp since New Year’s Eve, and that was the 1st time for about 3 weeks. There’s still plenty to do here on the post, and there’s a possibility of the rink opening soon.

            I suppose I’ll bring my camera home when I come. There’s a circular out stating that no cameras will be allowed on the post, without permission from the camp commander, and it would have to be a good reason. Besides, I can’t get any film for it, anyhow.

            I haven’t seen a show in ages, so I can’t reccomend (misspelled) any for you. I just took time out to call Jill, and she’s feeling much better, but doesn’t want to go to town. So I suppose we’ll go to the officer’s club.

            Haven’t heard from any of the boys for so long. I’ve been wondering what they’re doing. Hays hasn’t written for a month – Dutch wrote once since I been here - and I haven’t heard from chick since I left school. Read in the Tribune where one of my old friends was missing in Africa.

            I’ve still in the dark concerning my promotion. We know they’re on the way, but whether just he company commander’s are the only one’s or if all of us are getting it, remains to be seen.

            Well Catty, tell Joe “hello”, and write soon. Perhaps I’ll have a little more information then.

                                                            Love –
