dc.description.transcription9-20-45Dear Folks,The chow line for the noon meal is too long to sweat out just now so while I’m waiting I’ll knock out a few lines. As bad as I hate to have to ask you I expect that you had better send me some winter clothes. Send me my blouse, one pair of pink pants, one green shirt and my hat. If both pair of my pibs are at home send the one with the deep pockets. If they aren’t there send the other pair but repair theworn out pockets first. Another thing, be sure that the return address is plainly written on the package. Thank you Mama. My watch got here yesterday too. There is nothing officially new here and the only thing new at all is that I got through my tour of O.D. without too many mishaps and none of them were serious. You ought to have seen me packing that “45” and driving the jeep all over the post, just like I knew what I was doing.I haven’t made any plans for this weekend as I am expecting Jim back most anyday. If he doesn’t come back I’ll either go to Anaheim, about ten miles from here, or else to L.A. and see my rich gal with all the cars. I haven’t decided for sure yet but I think the detective has the inside track. I wish I had some way of getting in touch with Jack. Get his address from Mrs. S. J. and mail it to me post haste will you? I’ll bet if I can get him out here away from his Mamma we can really tear up the town. L. A. is just the town to tear up to.Its time to go eat now and then hustle to P.T. so I’ll quit for now.Love to all,JoeNotice the air mail.
