John N. Calhoun family letters, August 1941-February 1946

1941-07-14 Page 1

H & S Co,
136th Med Regt
Camp Claiborne, LA
July 14, 1941
Dearest Dorothea and all!
       We arrived at Bringhurst at 9:30 AM Sunday morning. I slept quite a bit on the way down.  Guess I was tired enough to even sleep on the train. I hope you enjoyed your stay in St. Louis and that you got home OK. I looked for a letter for you already but didn't receive one.
    Honey, I certainly did enjoy my furlough
and hope that you did, too, which I know you did.  Everyone was so nice to me while home and everything done to please me.
    Were you busy today? I hope they don't work you too hard upon your return to work.  Of course they would all want to come back at the same time.
    They were busy while I was gone and 
had everything pretty well up to date. All
glad to see me back, though, I guess.
    We had a great big rain upon our
return and then rained today about noon.
   Lt Garrett told me the paper sold out
to some Kansas concern. Marion is...

Saving...
