| dc.description.transcription | 5-23-45Dear Folks,This is just to let you know that I’m still here, and I might add all here. There is no telling how long I’ll be all here if we don’t get to doing something. That ground school I was telling you about didn’t come off and now I’ve changed my mind. I’druthernot loaf. I was supposed to go on a night celestial mission tonight but its been scrubbed on account of weather. I’ll play a couple of rubbers of bridge, read a book, hit the sack, and sleep until noon tomorrow as per usual. There is usually a softball game but if not Tom and I play ping-pong or snooker. Guess I’ll have to volunteer for overseas service so I can get some excitement.I’m glad my air medal got home o.k. Some of the boys had trouble getting them home. If there wasn’t any Belgium money in the package I guess I’ve lost what I had. You didn’t mention any being in the box and there is none here so it must be lost. By the way I haven’t and won’t sendanother box home. I hope to be bringing it before long but don’t count too heavily on it. Don’t send me anymore packages either because I don’t expect to be here very long. You can keep writing letters until I tell you to stop.I have some domestic news. Jeanne, Paul Griffith’s wife wrote me a letter and said she is expecting a blessed event. She didn’tsay where Griff was because she thought he had already written me.I’ll keep you posted if anything happens.All my love, Joe | |
