October 30, 1943.
Dearest Daddy,
We were over-joyed to receive your letter last Monday and to know that you were well.
Isabella has just given me your letter written yesterday. I feel very happy to know that we will see us soon.
I meant to write Wednesday, but it being Navy Day, the American Legion telephoned all the schools to have a half-holiday and for the children to come to a parade they were sponsoring. The boarders went of course, and when we were coming downstairs, I forgot the writing paper. The parade had more soldiers in it than sailors. Also WACS
