| dc.description.transcription | 9-15-43Dear Folks,Mama, the other day when I called you it was for three purposes.1.To wish you a happy birthday.2.To take the place of writing a letter because I didn’t have time to write.3.To tell you, you had a package coming in the mail.If I remember correctly, the third item on the list was completely shipped by me in my anxiety and eagerness just to talk to you and hear you talk. The reason I am uneasy about it is, I didn’t have time to go to the post office and insure it. I simply gave the package to a mail orderly and hoped that he didn’t mis place it. By the time you get this you ought to have a package from me. If you don’t have it now or within 2 days get excited and let me know so I can get excited. It will be just my luck for something to happen to it because it isn’t insured. I had the thing for a week and still didn’t find time to take care of it myselfso my previous assumption about more time was wrong. The band on your present isn’t very good and you will probably want a better one. If you do let me know how much it is and I’ll pay for it.There isn’t anything new to tell except that I passed that Physics exam that I thought I’d flunk. We have a big inspection coming off tomorrow by the Major. I’d better quit and start helping the boys get the room in shape.Enclosed find some pictures of me and some friends. More will come in a week or two[no closing or signature | |
