SUNDAY
MY DEAR AUNTIE
WELL, HERE I AM BACK AGAIN -- TAKES A LITTLE TIME BUT I MANAGE TO GET AROUND AND ALSO TO SAY MAZEL TOV [Good Luck] -- AS I GOT MOMMA'S LETTER IN WHICH SHE TOLD ME ABOUT THE ADDITION TO THE HERBERT BORGEN FAMILY.
REALLY THERE ISN'T MUCH NEWS AROUND HERE -- AS THE JOB IS THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS WAS -- AND THE PROMOTIONS ARE VERY SLOW SINCE WE ARE NOT IN A FIGHTING UNIT -- WHICH MAYBE IT'S BETTER THIS WAY.
I AM GLAD TO HEAR THAT YO ARE GOING TO CONTINUE YOUR STUDYING AT HOME -- CAUSE BY MAKING UP YOUR MIND TO DO SO, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH JUST AS MUCH AT HOME AS YOU WOULD IN SCHOOL -- AND IT WILL EASIER SINCE YOU DO IT AT YOUR LEISURE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU HAVE BEEN HAVING IT AT HOME -- BUT THE WEATHER HERE IS PRETTY MILD -- WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY REAL COLD DAYS AT ALL -- WE DO HAVE PLENTY OF RAIN AND HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AT ALL TIMES SINCE IT IS EASY TO CATCH A COLD -- BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE HARD COLD WIND THAT I REMEMBER AT HOME.
[…]
WELL, I'LL HAVE TO RUN ALONG NOW -- AFTER ALL YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME TO MISS THE MOVIES -- SO I'LL SAY [Be Well and Strong] AND WRITE ME WHEN YOU HAVE TIME.
Phil
