Dear Dad, Mother, & Shirl,
Well How are you today? Hope you are all well & O.K. Boy it sure is hot here and we have to wear undress blues all of the time on the Campus & boy does it get warm. We are really getting a work out this week on studies but that is because it is the 4 week term & we have a lot of tests.
I have been to a math class and a Psychology lecture so far this morning & I go to Psychology lab for three hours this afternoon and then to Physical Education, then we eat, then we study for two or three, or four hours.
Well it will only be 2 more days until you are up here. I sure hope you don’t have any trouble with the gas because they are getting a lot of people. (I hear) Coon and I are getting all of our studying done so that we can be all caught up by Saturday so we can spend all of our time with you.
If you can buy me a blue denim work shirt like Mr. Coon sent Arnold I could sure use it. They don’t have any my size in Poky & we need ‘em for dungarie uniforms. (size 13 ½ -14)We have a “purty” “gud” band up here now and it makes the parade a lot better. Well I guess I’ll write to Don now so I’ll see you Sat.
Lots of Love
Bill

Dear Shirlee,
How’s the pianist coming along now?
I hope you don’t mind such short notes to you but I have such little time to write to my “next best girl” that I don’t send many letters or dollars (I’m kind of short until next pay-day but we’ll have fun in Poly on the .25 I have.
Lots of Love----Bill


Dear Don;
Well, how are you today? Golley its hot here and hell we have to wear undress blues all the time on the campus. Of course you don’t have to wash them like you have to whites but they area awfully hot. The studying is getting hard as heck but so far I am doing O.K. How are you doing on your radio work? And How is the weather in Chic?
Well Dad & Mom & Shirl will be up here on Saturday and I’ll be glad to see them. They are going to watch our Sat. morning inspection and review which is “purty”. I guess you fellows really have some good ones back there because you are in a permanent base but we don’t have the right kind of grinder for a “real” good parade.
How is your chow back in Chicago and have you gained any weight yet? And also how are the gals? I met a cute gal here at the U. who works in the Student Union building café and she is really cute and of course her name is Shirlee. Hell I can’t get away from Shirlee.
Well, I hope you are O.K. and studying hard and take car of yourself.
Best of Luck
Your Bros. Bill .
P.S. Leave the girls alone!!!!
