John William Graham letters, July 1945

1945-07-26 John Graham to Mr. & Mrs. William J. Graham Page 2

Can't see why my letters get so bunched up. Must be disgusting to get more than one at a time for I sometimes think I might as well make carbon copies for every day I write the same thing. Nothing happens tho to break the monotony of the day, get up about ten thirty or eleven, clean up, go to chow come back & write a letter & maybe read a little or perhaps walk to the P.X for something I need or a coke, leave for work about a quarter past three, work at four, go to chow between seven & eight, work till twelve, clean up the hangar, chow at twelve thirty back to the barracks shower & turn in. So it goes day after day. Just heard Churchill was overthrown in the British election, hope it doesnt make any difference in the support England will give us in the Pacific. Was a little surprised in the outcome. It's a darn shame Aunt Cora couldnt have gone to California as long as she wanted to. That Alice is a ungrateful brat not to put herself out a little it seems to me she needs a good kick in the rear end to jar her up a little. To bad Grandma cant be a little more reasonable too, was g. grandma Hollingsworth like that when she was so very old & living with grandma. I can just remember her, how
