LETTER #43 - 24 OCT 1944






                                                                
My Little NotesNot much to really add.  He talks about hitchhiking to Miami and that even the officers hitchhike their way around.  He also mentions he received a letter from his Army buddy, Ray Kubick who is still at Truax Field in Madison, Wisconsin but soon will ship to Chanute Field.  He also talks about the trouble getting laundry done down in the South and how expensive like spending $4-5 a month to send them out to get clean!

"War bonds are nest eggs that hatch dreams like this [washing machine] -- WWII advertisement (USA), 1943."  
The closest I could find to a laundry image!
