Conger Reynolds correspondence, January-March 1919

1919-02-27 Conger Reynolds to Emily Reynolds Page 3

The future is altogether hazy as to the period after I get home. I may be kept on duty for awhile. If I do get out of the army I suppose I'll try for some sort of newspaper job to work at at least until time to go to Iowa City next fall. On all the acquaintanceships I have made with newspaper folk and others of influence I ought to find something good. If the period were to be shorter, I'd loaf. With homebuilding ahead, though, I can't afford to be idle four or five months. 
I'll be glad when the readjustment is over and Daphne and I are settled somewhere. Then we'll begin to live and to make home home for you and for others who have been good to us. 
My next letter I hope will be written to you from a transport, if it seems necessary to write at all before seeing you.
Until then - heaps of love!
Your prodigal son, Conger.
