Dear Mom,

Got your letter the other day, so am answering it now. I’m sorry if I’m not writing so regular as usual. I always plan to write one a week anyway.

How is everything going? I suppose Grant is busy now. Sorry to hear that Faye is ill. Maybe she will perk up with a change of climate.

We had a company party the other night. I had a pretty good time. We had some Land Army girls come. Guess they are going to invite us to a party of theirs.

It has been raining quite a little here for the last week or so. Seems like the autumn rains have set in.

Do you hear much from Virgil these days? I haven’t heard from him for a long time.

Well, guess I will close and go to the show.

Love, John
