Letter from Joseph Futey to his sister Mary Ann Futey
" January 27, 1945
U.S.S. Pensacola
Dear Sister Mary:
I guess that I've wanted long enough
to answer your letter so since I'm in the
mood for writing to night I decided to
put it to some use. This letter was
started about a half hour ago but as
usuall there is some sort of argument
arises and it usually detains my letter
writing for awhile Now that everything
is quite again I'll see what I can do
in the way of writing a letter.
Just as long as your intentions of
writing to me is sincere, I'll forgive you
for not writing as often as you think you
should. I can't say as I blame you for
not wanting to write Mary because if I
were back there I would feel exactly the
same.Tthere were times when back there
that the only way I would get a letter
written was to tie myself to the table and
wouldn't get up until it was written.
Now with time on my hands it is the
only thing that a person can do but
even now there are times when I would
much rather sleep then write.
No, I haven't heard anything about
Charlie and Josephine. As a matter of fact
I haven't heard from Charlie for over 2
month so maybe if I get a letter from
him he'll tell me about it. it isn't too
much of a surprise to me because
I can't blame her. They should have got
married a long time ago and I think that
she stayed true to him long enough. That's
the trouble with having a steady girl when
you can't stay near her. then again a person
never can tell what life holds in store for
him.
Say, before I want to thank you for
the war bond that you bought for me. I
appreciate it very much Sis. Well gal, I
guess its time for me to go to bed so I guess
I'll be signing off for now. Don't take no
wooden nickels.
Your Brother
Joe
