letter did not sound as if you were up to your usual par.
Hell I hope my letter does notfell
sound to weary for I really do notfellfeel
that way. By the way now that you have
told me about Bob and Francis I can tell
you that I have know it for a long time so
the joke is on you.
This weekend has been one of the best
I have had in quiet a while. We haven't don't a
thing except sleep and go in town for our meals
but I have certainly enjoyed it. Today I bought my
uniform and lucky me 12 gallons of gas. The order has
changed; we can have all we want. How do you like the
picture of the soldier going over the 8 ft. wall.
Love
Jimmie
P.S. I made it." data-link='View Page Details' />
