| dc.description.transcription | 5-6-45Dear Folks,For once I can tell you my location. Just as you guessed, I’m down in Bournemouth. It is still the same clean, peaceful town it was the last time I was here. The grass is just a little greener, the trees completely leafed, and the flowers in full bloom. There hasn’t been a really beautiful day yet, suitable for sunbathing but I haven’t given up hope. I did go swimming yesterday, in an indoor pool and had a swell time. There was an American Nurse here at the club that knew where the nearest and best bath, English for swimming pool, was so we took her along. Tom is the other part of we in that last sentence. After that the nurse introduced Tom to another nurse and the four of us went driving and dancing at a classy joint uptown. There is no getting around it, you can’t beat American women, I don’t care where you look.I haven’t seen Veronica yet but I have a date with for tonight. It is for the usual Sat. night dance here at the Red Cross Club. I made the date before I met the nurses, that’s what I get for being such a fast worker (ahem). When I called Veronica for the date her Dad answered the phone, in a gruff voice he demanded to know who was speaking. When I told him he said, “oh, Joe, welcome back to Bournemouth, I’ll call her to the phone.” I guess he wants me to come out and tell him more about Texas.That about takes care of my activities to date. –I don’t remember whether I told you or not but the combs arrived the other day. Thanks. –Love,Joe | |
