Hello Doc:

Your letter of June 9th, enclosing the ‘Rebounds’ finally
caught up with me today. As will note by the above address I have changed
my location since my original letter went to you from Africa.

Was most happy to get copies of the numbers 7 and 8 issues,
as well as to get your personal letter. I think you should be complimented
on getting out such a fine publication and you may rest assured I will
enjoy each and every copy.

As you can tell by the address I am now using, I am with a/
Replacement Command, and while our work does not entail the digging of
foxholes, it is necessary for the war effort and someone has to do it
About the only way I can get hurt is to be strangled on a typewriter
ribbon, but that is just part of the game. However, it is very interesting
and we are putting in long hours to do the job right.

The folks are still at the same old stand - 1608 North
Pennsylvania Avenue, Oklahoma City, and I am sure they will enjoy hearing
from you. Dad's health is not too good, but Mother does not seem to change
from day to day. How she does it I'll never know.

_ Mary Mil should be back in Kansas City by now. She planned
to leave Brownwood, Texas (my last station) on the 30th of June and I
received a letter from Mother this morning advising she had a nice visit
with Mil in 0.C. on the 3rd as she passed thru on the way homee

So far I have not run into any one from KeU. but eee
new command we see thousands of men and I might bump into someone most
any daye ity efi

Again, many thanks for the 'Rebounds' and I'll look forward
to the new issues as they go to press.

Best regards to you and the Missis -
