August 3, 1944

Dear Folks: Aug. 3. Just got a letter from Marvel Lee and one from Jo. Haven’t had one from you in a week. We just got back from London again and jumped right back in the saddle. Our cats are a caution. They jump in and out of the window at leisure. One of them climbs up the clothes and sleeps on a shelf above them. They eat and sleep all day and are gone all nite. I bought me a raincoat and a jacket. The jacket is green wool something like my blouse. The oats, barley and wheat is being cut and shocked around here now.
                                    Yours truly,
                                                John
