Pg A "Dear Mom, Dad & NJ, Well, hope you all enjoyed your Easter presents I sent. Guess what? i will be in camp until 3:45 tomorrow and can not go to church as we are shipping out. Write to me down here and I'll get it forwarded. Gee, Mary sent me some old spice shaving cream, yardley's pour, 17 Roi-Tan cigars *illegible* 2 pairs socks and 1 botany wool tie. Wasn't that nice of her? Adore her much and hope you all do also."
Pg B "Had the afternoon off and played cards and checkers. Sure has been hot down here and I guess it'll get hotter on the next few days. Played pool tonight. Won 3 and lost 3. I'll pay for the flowers soon. Tell Dad even brooms are lousy and wouldn't last. Had to try it anyway. Well no news so good night. Love Donald XXXOOO Xo *illegible*
