Compared to most of the 116th I’ve
been fairly “blessed” as regards mail—
however (even I) we can say it surely
has been “stinky” since a few “token”
post V-E pieces were sent through.
Thus your May 15th’s & 17th’s came
& I was sooooo glad (even more
glad was I that you have received at least
3 (you 2 – Mom 1) post-VE E.F.M.s[1]). (Total=5 E.F.M.s).
[2 stamps TANX!→][2] Your May 15th’s:— Rep:- after seeing
the War Depts movies The D “Two Down &
One to Go” (wish they’d show it all over America)
it is just an absoloute miracle if
any “Doc” in the 116th gets out of going
C.B.I.[3] Gosh! Im so sorry for you
dearest one, I just ache & scream &
ache dozens of times a day, over it.
Let me know how contractor, con-
struction, lumber, etc, etc factors seem
to be lining up in the U.S.A.. Not that
my-pocketbook can do awfully much
about it but—we can dream.
I just dont know if an Anesthesiologist would be
rrrunggg right out of the middle of “House Dreams”
as much as a Practitioner. Whadda you think?
