Dear Baldwin,

How are you pal? Here&s hoping that your doing alrightand that
everything is on the ball. Arrived on time Saturday night and every
is going according to plan,naturally. As yet I don't know what's to
become of me but I hear talk of my becoming a radio operator mechanic
gunner.(pardon me while I take a deep breath) Say, remember to give my
love to Connie and the rest of the patients. Tell the dears that I will
pray for them--personally.(smile, if you wish) I really haven't got a
great deal to say this time, but this is only a line to start the ball
rolling.

Say, how is your postoffice job coming along, or have you quit them
yet. With the homey atmosphere and all, you will probably stick it out
a while and make yourself an incalculable fortune-- that's if you don't
get tired of counting the pennies.(smile at will) Seriously though,
friend, I trust that this job of yours will turn out to be a good
thing, and will help to put you where you belong again. I trust that
I'm not asking too much.

Incidentally, did you get by to see Marjie, if so what occurred--that
shouldn't have? Well pal, the opening shot has been fired so I will
now mercifully close.

With love,

PS.
