					<salute>Dear Mother, Dad, &amp; Grandma--</salute>
				</opener>
				 Four months ago today I picked up my commission and headed for home. It doesn't
					seem that long - but at the same time it seems a very long time ago that I was
					just an enlisted man. 
				 I've subscribed to Time for the coming --  renewing the subscription that was
					out in September - so don't you folks do anything about it. 
				 It's been awfully hot. I'm content to simply hole up in my room, remove my
					uniform and relax. For that reason, I haven’t been over to see Harry Everitt.
					I'll try to go tomorrow evening. 
				 No Demie by the name of Porter to the best of my knowledge. I can't imagine who
					it could have been. 
				 Keep me informed of what develops in the church situation. 
				 No, I haven’t heard from Jean Dyer for over a month. She was interested in a new
					job the last I heard. 
				 I'll keep my eye open for indian dolls-- but I don't remember having seen any. 
				 Not much new. It's been too hot to go anywhere or do anything. I took a nap
					yesterday afternoon and listened to the radio last night. 
				 This morning I went into town to church - the Methodist this time. The service
					was very nice - more like our type of service. at home. But the minister doesn't
					come up to our local pastors. I'm going to try the Congregational next Sunday.
