Dear Milan,

Was I ever surprised to hear from you as near together. I didn't get the one yesterday answered- will write next week to answer one so two won't be coming together.- Another today does it ever make me feel happy. I love to hear from you, Milan.

That sounds wonderful- you say you plan to spend a lot of time- you know under civil service, we are given annual leave I'll have about 6 days by 12 of Dec. Maybe I can take off some while you are here.

I have a new job which makes me very happy, one day this week luck was with me- the girl I ride with, who is a Dept. head of the voucher of another warehouse Engines (02A) asked if I wanted to come over and work for her- she is CAF4 I'm 1, everyone starts at the bottom. I felt this was my break, I managed the transfer and it went through- now my day is interesting while before it was dull. I file type, seen the mimograph on a lot of different forms and things.

Alice is going on a vacation in Nov. to see her husband and be gone 2 or 3 weeks. I'll take over all together Engines are much more interesting then steel and this warehouse is much warmer too..

The weather has been very lovely lately. I managed to buy a raincoat this week- now I want it to rain so I can try it out. You know it's only 7 more weeks.

Do you remember a Hubbard boy that went to R.Y. he works in our warehouse.

I understand perfectly where you stand I am glad you feel living alone is best- not all do though. I've talked with so many that say one house is near large enough for two families.

I don't blame your Mother feeling that she wants to adopt the girls you boys marry; for every parents wants the feeling of gaining a child rather then loosing one- don't you think. Mine do, I know and are very concerned about who I marry, it helps a lot if the parent approves, it's less friction. The folks were quite impressed with you the time they met you and your parent at the farm Bureau meeting about a year ago, I think.

It truly sounds as though you have been terrible busy yes I do believe you will make a good husband with all the experiences. One of the girls here have a map of England and London that her husband sent her. It is truly interesting I am counting on hearing all about your trip over there and seeing the pictures you have.

We have been having a hard time getting things ready to send over sea for Theo, its hard to know what to send.

I must get to work- will write again next week to make up for the two letters I've received together. I'm always looking for them.

Truly yours

Kathleen
