Hello Jane!
In a rush right now but my conscious is killing me for not answering before so here are a few words, anyway.
Plans go wrong – my leave didn’t work out and now there are more complications. My outfit is moving soon to the California – Arizona maneuver area and I hoped that I would be able to drive down thus having a chance to top off and see you. No go, gotta act as a medical officer for one of the trains.
From the sound of your letter you must have spent a miserable holiday period. I did too but only in spots. Fun and then misery.
Maybe sometime in the near future I will have the opportunity to get to L.A. and we can get stinkie together.
Gotta go! No – no – not what you think.
So long
Ted.
