Today Captain Young<br /> told me that he thought that <br /> I would be able to get a Xmas<br /> furlough. If I do, I will be very<br /> lucky as only <s>2</s> two thousand of the seventeen<br /> thousand are getting furloughs. If <br /> things work out right, I will get<br /> off Saturday and report back<br /> Monday week, seven days at home.</p> https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/ffc34b6e6d1e19636b823c767b046792.jpg da80c99e246a689930410dde39df6250 PDF Text Text <p>The peanuts came this<br /> morning and we all enjoyed<br /> them very much. After seeing<br /> Mr. Dickerson's sticker and your<br /> hand writting, I decided that they<br /> came from lower Main street. <br /> Well, have got to get back to<br /> work here. Hope to see you all soon but conditions being as they<br /> are I will not allow myself to <br /> be disappointed if I do not get the <br /> furlough. Will let you know more<br /> latter. <br /> love<br /> Jimmie</p> https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/08a788563fcd185be5d0507f827b28e1.jpg e585d7a456132c71426cedeb368362d4 https://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/files/original/8f87a7d2fb07f5fe1583ee0aa8a65633.jpg 2c398565f7d28d258f5f9ec026e5a9bd Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
