September 15, 1944

Dear Kathleen,

Hello. I do hope this finds you in the best of health. I feel first rate but I've lost a few pounds but it isn't anything to worry about.

I got the snap shots back so I thought I'd better pass them on to you before I lost them. They are very poor but what more could one expect. Ha! Well they are supposed to be have me in the background somewhere.

You know I've forgotten whether I answered your last letter or not. Well in case I didn't I do hope you forgive me as I've been on the go here lately. After getting off work of an eve I either go to the movies at the base or the USO Dance at the band shell. We have a change of movies every other nite and some only last one nite. We are located about two miles from the main base so we have to ride a bus down to the base. The bus runs on the quarter hour, quarter till and quarter after. Last eve I seen "Rainbow Island", and a USO show after wards and both were quite good.

Gee this month certainly has gone by fast so far and at the present speed Oct. will be here before I will know it. It doesn't seem possible for it is so warm down here yet. It has cooled off a bit the last few days but it is still is summer weather to me.

They certainly had quite a blow up and won the east coast. I'd certainly hate to see one hit down here for I fear there wouldn't be much left as all this land is just a few feet above sea level anyway.

This week ends the first four grades are having a beach party at one of the Gulf beaches near St. Pete so I guess I'll have to get out and get some salt in my eyes. Perhaps I could sen you a sample eh! From now on is when this part of the country will be a little bit of alright but gee I sure would live here in the summer time.

As Ever

Milan
