July 1-2, 1944

Dear Folks:
            We just got back from London where we went on pass. Had a good time. We saw 3 movies. Hollis and I were going to buy some clothes to replace those we lost in the B-4 bags. However, the quarter-master store was closed for inventory (as usual) so we saved our money. We inquired around again after our bags but no luck. We had to change Red Cross Clubs because our old one was keeping a bunch of girls again. Things are very high priced in London. I paid $2.50 for a very plain, wooden hair brush.
            Your last letter of June 18 said you hadn’t gotten any letters written in June then. That mail must have really got slowed down. Who was the Raymond Adams that got married? By the way, who is the new county agent? Can Ray Hanna keep him in line? I was wondering what happened to C. Dodson. Hope your combine works O.K. and that you got some pictures of it. Suppose when you get this you will be about done combining. No, I haven’t seen any yuccas or hollyhocks. The paper is our daily sheet. July 2. Had communion service in chapel to-day. All for now.
                                    Your truly,
                                                John
