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

1941-09-22 Page 2

The boys are going to Villa Platte for rations.  It is a town of about 3000-4000 people.  
I guess your fever sore must have been catching as I have one night in the center of my upper lip and it feels as big as a barn.  Hope I don't get my blood out of shape and get boils, etc.  
The cookies haven't come yet but they are sometimes held up at APO 34 or wherever they get the mail - if they have an exceptional amount or if the ration truck is leaving and they have to get the mail on it.  
Be sure and save your Prudential Insurance Premium receipt.  Put it in the middle desk drawer or some where where you are keeping the things for me to check over.  
That was a good story about Mae West. Tell Blanche I got in OK and hope Mae did, too.  
The negatives that Mary wants are in a big brown envelope, but where it is, I don't know.  
It is swell you are getting the house cleaned so early. Hope you don't wear yourself out with it.  I got the letter you thought you lost.
