Burton Jay Smith and Willametta Turnepseed letters, September-December 1942

Dearest,
I like the suggestion you made for $100. If it will help I'll write to:-
G. Macauley
J. Diamond - me
J. Gudonis
Edwin B. Hill
A. M. Adams
Helm Spink
Is there anything specifically that we should any one of them for?
The suggestion that we get comments on $100 is good too.  I expect, however, to "point with pride." (what can "I view with alarm.")
I rather think it may run more than six sheets although we might keep it down to that.
I think I said in the last letter that you could send me more stencils.  The mailing went out but there wasn't quite enough to go around. --------------
Three days later!!!
I got the stencils and I'll run then soon.
Tuesday after school was Teachers' Meeting; it got out at 6 p.m.  At 7 Red Cross First Aid began and ran until 10. 
Wednesday.  After school I got my hair cut (it was either that or get a violin.)  In the evening two of the men came over and we practiced our First Aid.  By golly, you know you do have to practice, too.

Saving...
