27 Sept. 45

Dear Mother,

Your long letter written on Sunday and the note of Monday came today. I’ll have to re-read it before doing much answering but right now I must get this in because between now and mail time there is a medical meeting and Cmdr. Jack Howell is coming out to see me so I must do this right now.

I started this letter in the room and I’m now in the O.D.’s office. I’ll probably write you another letter tonight on the way and mail it someplace along the way.

I’ll have to get going so
Love Daddy
