dc.description.transcriptionBroken Bow, Okla., Oct. 30th 1945 Dear Son: Rec'd your letter this morning. It took it a long time to come by air but it might have been down at the P.O. a day or two or until the spirit moved them to put it in the box. Grandpa is lying down now he lies down some part of every day, Didn't you write before I talked to you? Lucia has moved to a house in Bill Colliersfield Bill C lived just this side of dead mans corner, he 2 bought all that land on the west side of the highway and built a rock house. Lucia and the kids has been with us 3 weeks, but moved last friday. Will tell you more when you get home. If you don't come by Lois' and bring her with you. Grandpa says we will go out there to see them after you stay with us awhile. We know you are back but we want to see you. Would call you but I never can think of anything to say over the phone. The ball game is to be here friday night, over 3 Grandpa is all set to go to town now and I will have to stop this because he will be all in when he gets back Nov. 8th is his birthday and he got a card from Lois and one from Bea this morning. We are having some pleasant weather this wk which we really enjoy. Hoping we will see you right soon. Love, Grandma. Love to Virginia and the children. W.M. Green, Box 426 Broken Bow, Okla. Tech. Sergeant S.L. Green 45 Jersey St. San Francisco Cal.
