Have been fairly busy the past few days and haven\'t had much time to do any writing.\" --- he comments, \"Besides I know my letters must bore you to tears as there is absolutely nothing to write about.\"

He complains, \"I was disappointed that you turned down my [secretary?] offer and I beg of you to reconsider - besides shorthand is not one of my requirements\" --- he admits, \"Yes, I guess you have changed, and I might add I have too - some say for the worse but you see I\'m no judge.\"

He concedes, \"Yes, I agree it is pretty tough in spots over here but hope that this mess will be over soon. I\'m so darn tired of war I don\'t know what to do but as I keep telling myself I\'m just one of many.\" --- signed, Love & Kisses, Skid; DARK STRIP ACROSS BOTTOM OR SIDES IS THE PLASTIC HOLDER IN THE SCAN
