September 28, 1943

Dear Folks,
  Just a few lines to let you know that I am still around.
  Was up for 1 1/2 hours today. That makes 21 hours all together.
   I forgot to tell you that the bracelet and necklace I sent home is for Mary. Couldn't get anything for Jerry. But have no fear I will keep looking.
    It's a good thing I brought that overcoat and jacket here. Down here in the "south" it is cold, mighty cold. One of the janitors was telling me that they have plenty of ice-skating in the winter. The "sunny south" is baloney.
  Received a letter from Don Mallone the other day.
   Have to go to chow so will sing off.
                                                                 Jim
