Letter #15 September 21,1944 "AH-H-H HA!"


page one

"Dearest Fran,
Probably this was forgotten- to thank you for writing during working hours ( the round letter etc.). Because it shows that you have time for outside thinking, and how nice it is to be in your thoughts. It'll take some time you know, Frannie, to catch up on those X's but we will get around to 'em anyway. Say the first page (of x's) then the next page breaks out with O's too so we must be shooting the breeze or maybe we stopped for oranges. AH-H-H-H HA!"

    


" Ya know, there always seems to be something important to say to you  but unfortunately around writing time  the usual blankness shrouds the old bean..... It all adds up that I must tell my Fran how much she's missed...  then too..., letters present a different side or angle on things... Anyway there are three (lovely) - who's drooling? - pictures here as a reminder of what I'm missing..."
