LETTER #39 - 4 OCT 1944








Sounds like Uncle Louie, Ward and Al had a fun time in Chicago, despite the fact they had no time to visit his family.  I am sure the family is not too angry over it.  And what a prank to pull on a kid with the pepper gum! 

Morrison Hotel (Chicago)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Morrison Hotel was a high rise hotel in downtown the Loop community area of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois, United States. It was designed by the architectural firm of Marshall and Fox, and completed in 1925. The hotel was demolished in 1965 to make room for the First National Bank Building (now Chase Tower).
Standing 526 feet (160 m) high, the Morrison Hotel was the first building outside of New York City to have more than 40 floors. At the time of its razing, it was the tallest building to have ever been demolished anywhere in the world.




The movie that he saw with the Waves.  I think I may have seen this movie once.  Funny, how Katharine Hepburn can be Asian!

  1. The "Sweat Box" above is called an Incandescent Electric Light Bath Cabinet" It was invented by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in 1891 after his friend Thomas Edison perfected the light bulb. These were basically the first infrared sauna. They have never been improved upon.
