Dearest Mother, Dad, Toots & R
I was glad to get your letter today saying that you got mine describing my meeting with Don. Congratulations too, on paying up the house—that is really something to be proud of.
Something very interesting happened again along the lines that great minds run in the same ditch or something like that—
Anyway—to get to the point—Last night I was thinking how nice it would make the whole house if the window in the breakfast nook were larger—I also thought about it this morning. And then, and then I read your letter saying you are going to make it larger. That is a coincidence.
Well, I am going to try to see Don tonight but I am not sure if I can stay very long as I am due back in the morning. I think my orders will be here tomorrow or so, so I guess I will be going to another California City for a few weeks. I think it will be Frisco. The ship I hope to get is the U.S.S. Clay. It is a flag ship, the same as Richards is going on.
Well, must sign off—
Love, Bill
Xcuse the lack of letters lately
