cold today, but nice & bright. Maybe it will soon warm up. I surely hope so. Four more weeks until you will be home again. I am afraid those four weeks will go pretty slow. I sure get lonesome for you dearie. I do hope we won't be seperated much longer. Your mother is getting restless too I think. She wants to go home I know. I don't see why she thinks she has to go home so bad, when she can help out a little. During war times, we all have to do things we don't want to don't we? I gave her $5.00 again this week. I have given her 13 in money & a $8.00 dress & other things since she has been here, so I feel like she isn't doing it for nothing. Do you think I should give her more? They had me give a report on you at sunday school this morning. Guess I did it all O.K. I hope so. Art Bloomquist even spoke & talked to me this morning I guess he's sort of getting over it. Marie has had several letters from Mac this week & told some interesting things he had said in some of his letters. Honey, I am hoping and praying you will get a good appointment, for you are deserving of it. I only hope it won't be foreign service. Warren is arriving Wed. for a furlough. He flew from South America to Washington D.C. and is now in Boston. He is being transferred to a battle ship on the West Coast I guess. I am afriad it will be much more dangerous. Glen & Frank have both been having T.N.T. poison & have been quite sick. They both quit down here & are going to start work at Rock Island in an airplane factory school of some kind. I will enclose the letter I rec'd from Warren. I answered it, but he won't get it before he leaves there I am afraid. Also the guardianship letter came & will enclose that also. Well I must bring this to a close & go mail this. I didn't get a letter off to you last nite, as I was just exhausted: Glad you are getting along so much better. Hugs & Kisses Dorothea & Kiddies
