John William Graham letters, February-April 1942

1942-03-24 Page 3

I got some more clothes yesterday, coveralls and a funny little baseball cap that is our mechanics uniform that must be worn at classes. I will get a flight jacket and more pants soon. We will soon be allowed to wear summer uniforms. I guess I told you I have a blouse, it fits pretty well since I had it altered.
I just got the newspapers - 11th and 12th - this morning, our mail was all mixed up when we moved. I got the box of soap stationery and things, they came thru in fine shape the chain was fine. Thanks an awful lot. I also got the money you sent me two different times, thanks for that too it will come very handy. I expect Ill get some pay the middle of next month, haven't been paid yet. There seems lots of things to buy and I had to pay for all my altering work myself. I'll have plenty of money to "[run]" me I think.
When I got the soap two fellows who had tasted the cookies came running to find me. Imagine their surprise when the box was opened. Say Mum don't send candy bars with soap those bars tasted just like Lifebuoy.
