Dear Ann,
I just got back from the Dentist got my tooth fixed don’t know how long it will last it is pretty well ground away already. I still have one more to be fixed then. I have to go to the Hospital to have my wisdom tooth xrayed, then pulled. Will do that Wed morning. “Hot dog won’t that be fun.”
Gosh its hard to settle down to the Army “way,” after my nice vacation. Sure hated to comes back this time.
I’ll bet it got colder after I left, I read in the paper where it snowed pretty hard up north.
Its even colder here now the days are still nice but the nights get a shade cool.
We get paid to day so I will send Rich his money so I don’t have to worry about it. I hate to owe anyone.
When I was in Chicago I stopped to see Ella, she and her sister were so glad to see me. Also some old man stays with Ella, before I left Ella gave me $2.00 her sister $1.00 I can’t thing of her name. Then the old man went with me to the station. He also gave me $1.00 so I didn’t do bad Eh!
I took a taxi out there then we took the Subway back.
Ella looks so much better than when she was out to your house that Sun.
She was just washing her hair when I got there she felt so bad about it. After she dried her hair she made me a little lunch.
Well we have to go out on some kind of eye test to night, will be held in black out will last till about 11:00 so I’ll soon have to start getting my duds on.
An ex-gambler helps a beautiful widow, and becomes involved with a
murder, secret agents, and saboteurs.
I went to the show last night saw “Night Mare” was a pretty good show. But the seats are all so darn hard. my “purdell” is still sore. I can’t get over how nice the seats were at the Colonial. That show on Central and Monroe. be sure and go there some time. [Ed note: Possibly the Colony Theatre in Toledo]
I got back two hr late but they didn’t do any thing about it. The train was 4 hr late getting to Temple, instead of getting there 2:00 we got there 6:00 then we took the morning bus got here 8:00 I was glad they didn’t say anything “me was just a little worryed.” Ha.
Well, good Bye Thanks for the swell time. I had while I was there.
Felix
