Darling,<\/p>\n

Andy and I are sitting here in the apt. writing, Jeans ironing and Bob isn’t doing much of anything. Andy and I are going to do some ironing when they go to bed.<\/p>\n

We got back from Merced about noon, went out to the base and found out that we should have been there at 8:00 this morning to have something at ground school. However, no one showed up as most of the fellows are strung out all over Calif. There were a whole bunch going to L.A. when we went to Merced.<\/p>\n

I received Dad’s card today but haven’t received the shells as yet, but they will probably come tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Honey, Andy and I went to the barber shop this afternoon. I’m sending you a sample, but now listen if you get your hair cut have it planned so it will be grown out when I get back.<\/p>\n

Darling, I’m really looking forward to talking to you tomorrow night. Here’s hoping that the call goes right through so I won’t have to get you up real late. However, even if I have to wake up everyone in the Foran household at 4:00 AM I will to talk to you.<\/p>\n

We got our shipping orders today so I put in for your transportation. You should receive a check for about $70.00, maybe not exact, and you can use the power of attorney to cash it. Let me know when you receive it.<\/p>\n

Keep writing and send your letters here until you receive my APO number. There might be quite a spell that I won’t be able to write but honey you keep writing anyway and don’t worry. When I do get to where I’m going I’ll tell you I’ve arrived and date it odd or even.<\/p>\n

Andy’s just about through ironing so guess I’ll take over.<\/p>\n

I love you very much –<\/p>\n

Forever yours,<\/p>\n

Tom.<\/p>\n
