Dear Larry:

Well, here it is Monday and again there is no mail from you. Dad and I just can’t imagine why you are not writing us. The first letter we got from you was the one you wrote the first Sunday that you were at Fort Sill and that was it. In the letter you wrote that you would write again in a couple of days and here it’s been almost two weeks since we got a letter. We are beginning to get kinda worried. Dad said if we don’t get a letter from you this week he is going to write to the commanding officer and ask why we are not hearing from you. Dad said that you are probably too busy running around in your spare time.

Dear Larry:

Just got through with the supper dishes. Dad went after Karl because he had basketball practice, and then he has to go to work at the club.

Joanna gets off at 6 so I will try to write you till she gets home. It was sure good to hear your voice on the phone sunday. I was surprised that you called so early.

We went to the 11:30 mass. I forgot to tell you, but a week ago, Dad and I went to confession and we were talking to Father Heilman and he asked about you and where you were at. He said he didn’t know you were gone until he seen it in the paper. Also, yesterday Dad and I went to the meeting and everyone asked about you. I was talking to Pat and Andy O—– and they both said they really miss you and they talk about you a lot. Pat was telling me that Eldon M—– is leaving this week. I guess him and John H—– are going together. She said that Mike C—– bought John H—-’s car.
