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

1941-08-28 Page 3

you, the one dated Aug 22nd and the one dated Aug 23rd.  Gee, honey, you can't imagine how much I appreciate hearing form  you every day.  I know it takes a lot of time and effort and especially when you are pretty tired.  Yes, I heard that Marion was KU.  Seems like it must have happened just about when she got down here after induction.  It is surely fortunate that the boy is coming to room with Jack.  You are surely doing swell on managing to keep the house rented.  As for coming down here, I have just realized how difficult it would be unless you got a trailer.  For instance we are 80 miles from Clairborne on our first jump.  Then about 20 miles away from there on the next one.  Then 4 or 5 miles on " ".  Now we are about 30 miles from where we were last.  So, unless you were in a very mobile condition, (a trailer, tent or similar) it would be pretty hard to make any ar-angements about moving furniture down or renting a house or apartment.  And in case I moved 50 miles away, it would be almost as bad as 1000 miles.  If you want to look for a trailer, it will be OK.  Also see about renting the lower apartment.  You would almost have to make arrangements for Ruth to stay there
