At Work

Hi Sweetheart,

   Sure wish I were up there where its cool.  Its was a 100 the other day in Ocala and has been hot every day.  Sure Honey Fla. is the best place to live or I wouldn’t have come back here.     

Honey I got 2 letters yesterday but didn’t get any Sat.  Jimmie wanted to bet me he wouldn’t hear from Sue until Wed.  He says he doesn’t get a letter very often and when he does it is a short one.     

Honey in you letter you sound as if you love me anyway I’m beginning to believe you do.  Honey I hope its’ not but one more weekend that I have to spend by myself.     

Jimmie and me were looking on the map where you are and you sure are a long way from home.  It took me 2 ½ days to come from Great Lakes to home on the train and yore are still further up.  Its not like being 10,000 miles from home and most of water.  It took us a month and a half to come from China.  We stopped a week in Pearl Harbor and it took 14 days from there to the states.     

Well Darling I have some work to do so will close for the boss might catch me.

Love Always
Morris

P.S.

Be good (nothing as yet on the car)
