| dc.description.transcription | TO: MRS. E.A. HAYS 512 W MULKEY FT WORTH, 4 TEXASFROM: F/O J.W.HAYS T-64121 707 52 446 68 A, R6558 TO POST MASTER, ....3-12-45Dear Folks,I started one of these little V mails last night but was too tired to finish it. My condition hasn’t changed much tonight however this time I’m determined. –Say, what has happened to my mail? Only one letter yesterday, another one from Grace, and none today. I guess I was spoiled last week. No kidding, the postman brought me at least five letters a day last week and a couple of times it was around ten. Speaking of ten, that reminds me, I put my tenth mission in today. I’ve intended to tell you all along when I got to ten and now the next report will come at twenty. Don’t hold your breath because the next ten will probably come slower than the first. One delay will be a five day pass coming up at the end of the month. Write more tomorrow. All my love, Joe |
