Dear Mother: - Just received

honest to goodness dinner, viz,
beefsteak, brown gravy, salad.
corn fritters, cream peas. pump
kin pie, layer cake, lemonade,
soup, bread and butter; and you
know that | was always good when
it comes to eating, so | made the
cooks pop their heels together a

Mother, did yoa realize that | am

as though I'm out of my teens vet,
but at chat 1t seems as though Eve
spent ten years of my life in this
well, this country. but when ever
once get my feet on soil in Gods
country" again its going to take
something sbetter than.an army to
get me away, cause the United
States is the place; anything you
want, all you have to do is to
name it and its there, and the real
thing is everybody speaks "Mul-
berry Bend" English, and where
six bits feels like six bits, and not
like pocketful of washers as big
as a wheel from a buggy. The
only time you know how close you
are to being broke is to hold out a
handful of these washers for a
package of ten cent cigarettes, and
then have Jane tell you you lack
three or four cents. Well, I'll
never learn to count this jack if
| stay in this country all my life.
Well, its either time to 90 to
work or sleep, so I'll have to go to
find out which we do.
With love and best wishes.
