See is out of the nurse corps now and all she does is take care of one pocket now and she sure has her hands full when I get drunk and she tries to get me up at 6 a.m. I fast lay tehn and laugh and she gets so mad and then come the could matter you never saw me move so fast. Well Donna Joe I don't have an address as yet but I don't have an address as yet but I will sen you one soon as I get it now taht the mrs knows a little about you she doesn't mind in fact she is letting hear saying she never got long letters from me. How about Verne or Knwwy have you heard from any of them other than what you wrote in your letter.<br>

Did you know: The word "inst" was a very commonly used abbreviation for the Latin "instante mense" meaning this month.
