Letter from Joseph Futey to his sister Mary Ann Futey.
"July 21, 1944
U.S.S. Pensacola
Hi Mary:
White glancing through my locker to day
I ran across a letter from you which hasn't
been answered. Who am I kidding? The
reason that I didn't answer sooner was that
when I received your letter things were
happening so fast that I never did get
around to it. I hope that you will forgive
me this time because I'm sure that it won't
happen again. Well Sis, how you all? Me?
Well everything is just wonderful.
Now that all of the foremalaties are completed
I shall endevor to proceed with this letter.
According to my home front corresponce,
I understand that Margaret Gayan(?) has
met a sugar dady to whom she is now
married and also that her sister Helen
has become the blushing bride of a sea dog who
is stationed on dry land. My, my, at that
rate who will be left for me too rest my
eyes upon from which I can pick my
bride from? By the looks of things the Old
Lady wants too get them married off before
us young guys come home. Now don't you go
rubbing it in because through my various
correspondence I have choosen two of the sweetest
girls this side of heaven. Only time will tell
what the out come shall be but this marriage
problem that people are going into with there
eyes closed is not for me. No steps toward that
goal will be made on my part until this whole
world is at peace once more. Say speaking of
marriage, you haven't made any steps toward
it have you? Now what in the world even
got me started on that topic? Enough of that
now I shall proceed with the brighter topics
of single life.
No, as yet I haven't received the cablegram
from the Packard but I can't say as I blame
them because after all I did quit there. So I
can't expect them to bother with a cast off.
Thanks for trying anyway Sis. Anyway the
ones that I was interested in are the personal
that I work with and according to the ones
that I received from home there are a lot
of new faces in them that I don't know."Acquisition
