Dear Folks:
Just finished house cleaning, that is reshuffling my footlocker and hope it will stay straightened up for at least a day. Then cleaned up my pistol and now am taking it easy listening to Bob Burns.
Last night went to see Dick and together we went to some wrestling matches and saw some great entertainment. Wrestling is a good show and full of laughs, and Dick about went nuts.
Last Sunday I took my friend from Coldwater, Kansas to church with me. The enclosed pamphlet was the program for the enthronization of the new bishop. This St. Andrew’s Cathedral is a very large and beautiful building with the chapel in the middle and a big wing on either side for clubrooms, etc. The service was very beautiful and typically Episcopalian. They have a large choir and a huge organ. In the crowd, a big one, was all kinds of (armed) forces and quite a few Japs. The Bishop talks like a forceful and effective man. The service was an hour and a half including communion which I took part in. After the service there was a serviceman’s lunch held in the spacious rooms. Wish I could go every Sunday.
I suppose you have seen the picture enclosed. The fellow is Lt. Eldo ‘Doc’ Blome who stayed in the same house in Lincoln. He was quite a pal of mine and I would give a lot to see him again. I hope the box has arrived and everything fits.
Well we still have blackout at ten and it’s getting around that time so better drop the curtain.
Love,
