John William Graham letters, May-July 1944

1944-05-12 John Graham to Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Graham Page 2

flowers for you on Mothers Day I hope you get them but if not I send my love and hope it is a beautiful spring day.  The leaves should be coming on fast now and some of the early flowers, would like to see them.
Our service club is coming along splendidly back in camp according to reports.  It should be quite an imposing building and provide a lot of recreation and benefits with its barber shop snack bar etc.  Cant get over how cheap labor is over here would hate to work for what some of these people do.  We had a movie last night in our open air theatre and I enjoyed it a lot It was "Ridin High" and was filmed in Technicolor down in Arizona and many of the scenes looked like the country around Tucson.
There are quite a few magazines over here distributed by The Red Cross and the Army Special Service department, some rather old but new to us.  The publishers put out a special overseas edition having no advertisements at all and they are much smaller than the regular issue.
Wrote to King Jr. night before last, his letter made good time crossing the ocean twice in about four weeks.  They have a system so that when I write him it will go direct instead of crossing the pond twice.
My space is used up and I can think of nothing more to write.  Love  Johnny
