V- MAIL March 26,1944 "A Most Rapid Means of Communication"













"Hi Fran,"

"How're you, ( making out, I hope). Got a letter from Ollie a few weeks ago and another a few days ago. He was in New River at the time but probably is on his way somewhere else by now. Hey lemme know how you are so I'll know there is such a place as Hyatts. and you too and its not just a fantasy. Its been nineteen months now since being in the old town and what has happened there is not known to me."

"You know I'd give about a year's pay to have some of those former opportunities which were missed there on Oakwood Road.....Anyway when you can tear an arm loose long enough to write, why just go ahead,... your angelic brother must be old enough to be in danger from the local (draft) board."

"How about eating some ice cream for me and also take a couple of snorts while you're at it...

I do miss you once in awhile so don't forget about it. Well, good luck,"
"Wick"
