Dear Sisters

            Well, another day is rolling around and getting ready to come to a close and I am getting ready to go on night K.P.; so maybe all night I will be cleaning beans or eyeing potatoes or something. We had a usual day today except we got some kind of pills to prevent the flu.  They are supposed to be something super duper and if they are half as good as they say they are they must be the nuts. I will copy the name and amount down and maybe you could get hold of some of them and take them as the flu is around and if you can get something to prevent it you should try. We had 2 grams of Sulfidiazine. It is new but maybe you can get it at a drug store, or if not you could ask Harry or Edgar if they could give you some. We had it marked on our shots record and it is supposed to be enough for the year; but if much flu should come around we may get more of them if we do and you take them I will leave you now.

            They just collected our pay book. I don’t know what the idea is but we had to give them up and we had been told never to give them to anyone, but we were ordered to give them up.  Well I am out of news so I will close.  Write soon.
