I received your letter with the information I wanted. It came the day before school opened and served the purpose very well.

Mont is still on Guam, waiting patiently for orders to send him back to Pearl Harbor and then the States, he hopes.

He is very impatient to get home and see his little daughter. I should have named her Mont instead of Kathleen, she looks so much like him.

Madelyne Marie is getting along pretty well in school now, but for the first week, she very conveniently acquired a pain in the stomach every morning. That trick didn’t go over with me because I had tried the same one myself with little success when I was going to school.

Madelyne Moynihan
