Dearest Doris & Johnnie

I have a few minutes this noon so will strat [sic] a letter and maybe I can finish it tonight. I received your first letter today from L.A. today. But no information as to what I have to know. We signed our furlough papers this morning. I suppose I might as well go ahead and write to Herald. And tell him what has happen.
Glad that you got there O.K. I bet Johnnie is having a time.
Hope [Toots?] keeps getting better. What seems to be her trouble.
Tell Claude he had better quite trying to make all the money in California and he will gain some weight back.
Yes I can come to L.A. on my furlough I only hope is that I can wait until after the war to finish in Decatur or maybe I can transfer it.
Has mother got the picture yet, if she hasn’t tell her to let me know. Honey I send yours to Chicago, So it will be a few days before you will get it. If you don’t get it pretty soon you had better write and asked Ruby if she ever got it. The return address on them are to the studio.
Well it is about time to go so will finish tonight, I didn’t write you last night, because we were out most all night, and when we did finally get in I was a little tired. So went right to bed. We leave for Bivouac next monday morning so don’t be surprised if you don’t here for a few days or even maybe a week.
Just got back from Chow so will finish this letter now. I got your long letter this afternoon..
So now I can write to Herald I am going to write tonight and tell him the deal.
Sounds like everyone is sick out there. Toots, Art, Irene, Marge they must be getting old or something ha!
I will explain to you when I see You ow Close I come of not even getting a furlough, it is sorta a long story.
It has been raining here this afternoon in fact it is still raining. Boy Im glad we don’t have a night problem tonight.
Well honey had better Close for now

Lots & lots of Love
