You have been a true friend you [gave?] me courage. Funny thou had I not come here and perhaps our paths would never have crossed.

My work here is finished - took inventory in the sotre for Miss [Marthorn?] I dont wish to start any new assignments until I hear from you. If I had a quiet place this morning - I might do some writing ut where is there a quiet noon?

Ever - Lucille [Devine?]
