Marfy:
Today was quite a day. I received a letter from you, Myron Green, & V.V. Mills. The OM presented me with my Air Medal last night, and this morning the CG, hung my DFC on me. I felt guilty about taking it.
I saw Cheese Olmstead about a job and made some headway. His outfit stinks and is completely disorganized. The OM is going to try to get me the damn group, but I know positively he can’t do it yet. In a year from now I’ll have one.
Your shoes are swell. Vulcanos say you are not only easy on the eyes, but have a lot of taste in your own.
Jack* was given a chance to go home and refused it. For selfish reasons, I think it is swell. I’m sure I’ll see her sooner this way. Jack says she “loves you dearly”. She isn’t the only one!
So Florence Gawert finally did it at the wrong time!
Lady, don’t think I’m passing up any chances to get home. I just don’t get the chances. I wish I was there to help use up some of your vitamins.
Lots of love, your own brat.
