Monday Night

Dear Kids,

Returned from furlough Aug 17. + found things in such a mess that I have hardly had time to think. Have worked about night and day but can now see over the tops at least. But I guess it hasn't all been for nothing, I understand I am to get a Staff Sgt's. rating soon. I didn't forget your birthday but I am broke + won't get paid until the tenth. What would you like to have?

How is G.W. + the kids? I was disappointed for I

thought sure there would be some pictures here for me when I got back. I sure would like to see the boys. They will be so big when I do get to see them for I am now in this thing for the duration + 6 mos. I moved Grandma over in the cabins while I was home. I went out to the plant + saw the kids. It didn't seem like the same place. So many new face. I also went to Murphysboro. Mrs. Stella + Louis asked about all of you.

Why don't you drop Grandma a few lines? I saw Mr. Carlstead Ida + C.J. but didn't see Mrs. Carlstead.

I am so sleepy I can't see so guess I better say good night for this time.

Love to all Mother

Write often.
