April 19, 1943

Dear Shirley,

      I'll pick up the chevrons and patches in Tomaine on Wednesday.  I'll bring them in with me Friday.  It'll be faster than the mail.  OK?  

      Do you think you could get a Friday and Sat. off next month during my furlough?  I would like you to come to Lansing with me.  I'll bet you would enjoy it.  Bill promises to buy you a cup of coffee and dad thinks it would be a good idea.  What say, huh, maybe, hmmm, gee whiz, huh???????

     I hate to say it , but there is another snowstorm floating around.  

     Gee I think it is a swell idea.  I mean you and Lansing getting together.  I'll bet it would like you too.  I'll take you to Tally Ho and the Mayfair.  We can walk on the campus in the moonlight (goodie, goodie, goodie). There are a lot of characters too.  Ain't it?  Gee golly it sounds better the more I think of it.  Tell the boss that I will come down to the bank when we get back and work two days for nothing to help you get caught up on your work.  Okey Doke?  

      I have heard of the Red Star Inn.  Hamburgers are much betererer.  Ain't it?

       I'll see you Friday and you'll tell me if it could be.  I'm hoping.

                    Love and Kisses

Fancy writin' huh?  There aren't any small letters on the darned gadget.

         More love - More Kisses
