David R. Elder correspondence, February-March 1945

1945-03-25 S/Sgt Nels B. Wistermark to Dave Edler Page 1

[March 25? 1945]
Marine Head quarters Squadrom  3 [illegible] Fleet Pass Office San Francisco Calif. 
Dear Dave 
I want to thank you and all those responsible for the Scuttlebutt. I get a bang out of hearing the wonderful job others from home are doing. I think our little old town is damned well represented, in this "Fracas." We can all be proud of them: Myself - I haven't had a chance to do much yet. 
I also was able to locate Dan [Minick?] from his A.P.O numbers through the Red Cross here. Much to my surprise though, he and -(another surprise) - Chap Barclay, called me on the phone. That was last Monday - so I made a date to meet them on the following Friday but Chap couldn't get away - and [Minicks?] liberty was fouled up so he called me rearranging the date to next Friday. 
Sunday - Dick [Powers?] called but I was at the Beach for a little swim. I called back and made arrangements to meet him on last Friday too but but he didn't show up. Evidently he had a change
