Dearest,
Not getting this written on Monday, but I'll write it as if I did, because that will keep up my "one letter a day" plan to you. After work I took Mrs Hunt to KV cafe for supper. We like a change once in a while and I usually drive the Plymouth to work on Mondays because I don't have an office car on Mon P.M's. I'm in intake then like always. So if she and I are going to Marion or any out of the way place to eat, Monday is the time to do it. We had a nice time. I stopped at Jones Drug on the way back from Marion and got a money order to pay for a social work magazine. Then I took her home and went to Virginia's. She asked me to come over and help on some Red Cross stuff. I did. Then too she wanted to give the topics to me for a lecture of two hours to her new class on Fri morn. Sort of like those meetings I held last summer. It is a little irony that she is the paid worker who is really not able to do a technical lecture. But I'm glad to help Red Cross because those women will be trying to visit families of service men. And I certainly want them to do it as well as possible so the soldiers and their families will get as good help as possible. To my good laddie, Love, Laura [smiley face doodle]
