July 26, 1944

Dear Daddy,

You got some important looking mail, so I enclosed it not knowing what else to do with it. (Come to think of it, I don’t believe I will enclose the checks, and the bank thing, as you might lose them, or this letter might get lost.

Anyway, one thing came from the American Security and Trust Company. It says at the top “This deposite accepted by AS&TCo. It was for $147.28. I don’t know whether it was a check or a receipt that you’d deposited that amount, tho, I guess that last was it. Anyway, I’ll put it in your desk drawer. Also you got a check for $44.32 from the Vocational Guidance Films you were working on. Pretty good, old boy! Congratulations! I’ll put the check in your desk, too.

Alease came last night and did the ironing. I washed the things Monday night. I guess I’ve told you everything else.

I went swimming last night with Louie and one of his Sea Scouts and a Sergeant in the Army that he knew in Indiana. We had lots of fun till we got dressed and the Sergeant discovered that his wallet was gone. It didn’t have any money in it, but worse than that, it had all his identifications and Army passes to get into and out of camp with. He’s stationed at some camp here in Washington. He didn’t find it when he went home, but I’m going over there tonight and look some more for it. Someone might have thrown it out of the window when they discovered there wasn’t any money in it. I think you should have put screens in the window in the boys room as well as the girls room. The boys are just as bad as the girls, you know, and most of the roberys have been there. I sure hope he got back in camp last night.

Tonight I have music lessons. I couldn’t have one Monday night as Bernie’s girl that helps him in the store while he’s giving lessons went to the beach.

Mary Jane and I had some frozen baked beans for dinner Monday night. Very good.

Your place doesn’t sound too interesting, but it’s different, anyway, for a change, yes? No! Bring me back something.

The peas were very good. They still aren’t eaten and neither are the beets or the beans, but we’ll finish them all sometime.

That’s all there is to tell. See you when you get back. What train are you coming on Sunday? I might meet you if it wasn’t too late.

I miss you….

Love,

P.S. I enclosed a letter I got from Mom the other day. I want it back when you come home.
