dc.description.transcription4-20-43Dear Folks,This is just a letter to letter to let you know that I am alive and feeling well. My sinus has finally completely gone. Ruth, now I know what it is like, so if you ever want your head rubbed while I am around, I’ll rub it all night.I am having an old June of a time with my Physics. I’ll find out how much I know next Saturday when we take tests. I didn’t do a bit of good on the first two but maybe better next time.I got a letter from Mrs. Nellie Larson the other day. She told me all about the church and Mrs. Vinson. Of course you had already told me most of it. I got another letter from Rollen Hawpe. He is about to compete a course in aerial gunnery. When he does he will have a sergeant’s rating. That is if he doesn’t get a medical discharge. He was going to get a physical the next day. In his letter it seemed as if he were about to cry. He doesn’t want to go home until the war is over. It is his shoulder that he broke. I got another letter from Charles Clark telling me that he was 4F. He says that he is going to stay at home and buy a car. He might think that he is lucky but I wouldn’t trade places with him for a million dollars.Thanks for the candy.Time to quit and start studying, Love Joe
