From the Pat Murphys OF
Cortland avenue who received
this most casual of letters from
a lad they know in the Essex
Scottish, who was a Bren gun
ner at Dieppe:
"1t's been quite a while since
I wrote. but ID really hasn't
been my fault. I've been busy
trying to get well in a hospital.
IT guess you heard about the
Canadians going over to pay
Jerry a visit. 1 got hanged mp a
bit. Now I'm In the hospital
Rgetting better.
"They say I'm serious case
I feel pretty good In spite
Of that. We had q pretty good
time over there even IL IL was
only for about nine hours. I have
n bullet In my foot through the
toes, two machine gun slugs In
my left arm above the elbow,
three mortar bomb wounds In
my left thigh and hip, and one
mortar bomb wound In my right
hip.
"But I'll be all right In
month or 10. and I can hobble
2h feet Ia the lavatory. I'm try
ing to talk the doctor into letting
me have a wheel chair 80 I can
move around and see this place.
81 haven't heard from my
unit since I've been In the hos
pitaI, but i guess they'll locate
US sooner or later.--Osty." pvt.

"P. S.-Forgive me for writing
IN pencil. lost my pen set In
France"
Mrs. Murphy Is going to send
him a new pen, and not mention
that perhaps the reason he
hasn't heard from his unit is
maybe--that a lot of them didn't
come back.

uer, home TO Detroit from work
ing on a Great Lakes boat, with,
as usual. a new hit Of nonsense:
Crossing a worm with a freely

fishing nj night Gone, from
Third and Temple, the sign that
used To advertise "Ice cream and
work gloves" hut Phil Dion SAYS
that a shop In New York, run by
a ring enthusiast, offers Sand
witches and boxing gloves"
A suggestion for something
that may hit the spot with many
servicemen comes from Mabel
McComsey, who passes along a
letter from her brother-in-law,
Pvt. Harold McComsey, tempo
rarily in Ireland:
"The other night" writes
Private McComsey, IT got talk
ing TO a young fellow that owns
bar In town and he Is quite n
sports fan. He knows all the
records OF Joe Louis, Jack
Dempsey, Jim Braddock and the
rest.
"For that reason, among
Others, some Of us have been
going In there and having quite
a time with him talking about
boxing In America, but j know
II we had some pictures TO tack
I'D on the wall II would make II
seem more like home TO the
boys, like Sims Ringside.
"See what you can do about
getting us some pictures or news
papers or anything at all per-
tanning 10 sports. They would be
priceless possessions here"
II would be too bad 10 tell
Private McComsey that Sims
Ringside, with its pictures and
boxing gloves. has gone the way
of all things.
II would be too much TO ask,
perhaps. that Private McComsey
be given, say, a pair of Mickey
Walkers gloves that used TO
hang in the Ringside, but per-
haps some overworked photogra-
pher in one of the news shops
would turn out some extra prints
from famous fight negatives.
What about it, Photo Depart
ment?
