So can't tell just when I will get to come home but I all will think as you untill get back Say I have met another girl in K.C. that had got me fooled I do not know just what to think about the deal she has a swell home in K.C. Kans. and work for Uncle Sam getting $1.95 (not sure....maybe that is a 6? or it is $.95? will include a picture....)a hour SHe seems to be a very nice girl but I can not see any futcher in any body now I told her that you were comming down and se want to meet you She just called and said that she was comming up to nite.
