V.t.J. Nov 5, 1942 My dearest Buddy I thought the enclosed would intereat you so send them on. I hope they drop John's case as I feel it would be too much of an undertaking for him at his age. I am sure there would be much of interest in it but that would not be all and it would be a great change from the life he has been liv ing for the past few years and consequently a guat strain. Whatever Our Lord permits I trust will be best but my private hope is that he does not have to go back into training. We hope your cold is gone and you are all right. John Culligan would give you some ant- cold pills if you asked him. Colds are so hard to get rid of + make you feel so bum. Is your work interest ing. I want these to go so will stop. With best love for my dearest Brother devotedly Yours Itter
