Dear DAD:
Received your letter just a few
days ago and was really glad to
hear from you.
At the moment I'm feeling fine,
and I hope that you and the kids
are all well when this letter reach
es you.
Yesterday 1 had some dental
work done, and now I am minus
two teeth. Outside of that my
uppers and lowers are perfect. Not
so bad.
Dad, I hope that you will forgive
me for not writing sooner, but
frankly I have been so busy that
really I have not had the time to
write. I will try and do better
from now on.
Dad, did have the chance to
spend a day in Naples with ACE"
Carlow. We had pretty good
time together. but the day was all
too short for me. 1 have also had
the honor, or opportunity, which
ever you wish to call it, of passing
through Rome. Not so bad, what
we could see of it.
Well, Dad, please tell the kids
that I said for them to be good
and do as they are told. I do hope
that those who were going to
school were successful in their
studies this year.
Dad, 1 received the shaving
cream you sent me, and thanks a
lot.
Well, I guess that I will have to
bring this letter to a close since
the writing space on this V-Mail
letter paper is getting pretty well
filled.
Please don't worry about me for
I'm o. K. and getting along swell,
believe it or not. Here's wishing
you all lots of luck. Will be see
| ing you all soon perhaps.
y Hoping and praying that this
mess will be over before very long.
Will write you again at the very
first opportunity. Bye for now.
Lots of love to you all,

Dear Dribbles:
1 am sending you my sons new
addresses. At the same time 1
want to tell you that I received
letter from Bill and in it he tells
me he is going to write to Drib-
bles. Bill has been quite busy, but
perhaps he will find time now to
carry out his promise. You will
see that he has a new address from
the following: Cpl. William T.

Chase, A. S. N. 12O12156, A. P. o.
No. 1922, Unit Mol, C o Postmaster,
San Francisco, California.
Thanking you very much for
putting these addresses in your
column for me.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. Charles B. Chase
Again Dribbles has you to
thank, Mrs. Chase, for keeping this
column informed as to your sons
whereabouts. This time, however,
we were one up on you so far as
your son Bill was concerned. Bet
you were bit surprised to read
his letter which started off the
column this week.
Well! We were certainly glad
to hear from Bill. We know that
he has been busy, still it's nice to
hear first hand from a fellow once
in a blue moon. And, now that
Bill has started, perhaps he will
keep up the good work. One of his
letters listed in this way will cover
lot of ground for him. Not only
his friends that still remain at
home, but most of the Boys who
are now overseas. 1t would be fine
if George and Leon would follow
their brothers example. They also
left a number of friends back here
in the States who would like to
know how they are making out in
this war. Please invite them to
come in and pay us little visit.
Meanwhile, thank you again for
the splendid cooperation you are
giving us. We feel sure that we
can count on you to do your part
for the duration.
