All military personnel are restricted to their bases. Consequently we are sitting around here trying to amuse ourselves. As for myself I am going to bed pretty quick and spend most of tomorrow there.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt you wonder what the money is for. Anyway here&#8217;s my problem: Not only don&#8217;t I have a chance to get <a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/people\/zoe-foran-cartmell-ellis\/\">Zoe<\/a> a graduation present but I don&#8217;t have the least idea what a girl would want for graduation. As you can see I am pushing my troubles off on someone else. Anyway I hope this isn&#8217;t too much trouble but really it was the only thing that I could think of. We leave this next Fri. so we won&#8217;t get out anymore while here and then we will be confined to the post for 2 weeks after going to <a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/things\/primary-flight-training\/\">Primary<\/a>. I wrote Zoe and told her the gift might be alittle late so there isn&#8217;t too big a rush. Really Elaine I haven&#8217;t any ideas and whatever you folks decide on will be O.K. with me. If you don&#8217;t need all the money the three of you go out to dinner and think of me. If you need any more let me know but it doesn&#8217;t need to be too elaborate. I really hate to ask you to do this for me but I didn&#8217;t know what else to do with Zoe graduating around the 4th.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_639\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-639\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/September-27-1943-Page-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-639 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/September-27-1943-Page-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"September 27, 1943, Page 2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-639\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">September 27, 1943, Page 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I received the <a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/things\/greenville-advocate\/\">Advocates<\/a> <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_637_1('footnote_plugin_reference_637_1_3');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_637_1('footnote_plugin_reference_637_1_3');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_637_1_3\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[3]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_637_1_3\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">his home town newspaper, The <a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/things\/greenville-advocate\/\">Greenville Advocate<\/a><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_637_1_3').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_637_1_3', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script> and it was really good to find out more about the home town news.<\/p>\n<p>We have heard that they expected trouble on the west coast this weekend.
