Today's post still is incomplete, but I did not want to get too far behind in posting. No links and footnotes, still have some research to do for the footnotes. Words in bold need transcription help.
March 19
Dear Robert
I was deeply
touched at the fact that you found time to write to me on my birthday something
the busy life you were living at that time judging by the clippings you sent
along – but February 27 is a bigger day in your life even than mine – at least
for the present.
Strangely
enough I found a parking place in front of the Fresno Bookstore last Friday and
went in to get a book for you that you might like, hoping to get it under the
oz. limit, but it missed it. something
I slogged in to something army
restrictions on mailing something something just as the mailman arrived
with you letter requesting reading material. I left the book with her and she’s
going to get another one to go with it so you should be having something beside
Peter Rabbit to pass the idle moments with. I’ll go over and cadge an
Italian book from Gertrude the first chance I have too. At present she’s laid
up in bed with a broken toe, which in itself doesn’t sound so bad but she has
an awful lot of weight to balance on it and it won’t like it.
Momma found out
from Mrs. Morris approximately where you are but we had some difficulty in interpreting
her version which sounded like Fugi _ however it begins with a P. doesn’t it? Mrs.
Morris had had a letter from Burl saying he’s been in touch with you and
mentioning you Black Flak – which disturbed momma, but since we didn’t know
exactly what she meant we didn’t’ try to enlighten her Your three engine
returns probably explains it Keep you rabbit foot on you , and at least the three
engines going!
Has Spring hit
sunny Italy yet? Rain wind and spring have all hit Fresno together and except
for the wind it’s lovely. You know how the yellow araria and daffodils and the flowering quince look on spring days.
And the orchards are clouds of pink peach blossoms, even the lilies are
beginning to bulge a bit and what the birds are doing to even the radishes is ruinous.
I’ll have to plant all the Victory garden over again.
The FSC summer
Session bulletin has come out and I must say it looks dreary and childish. I’m
sure Mrs. Gaines and my courses will be the gayest ones given though they’ll
something everyone off by their titles. It will probably be my last work at FSC
speech correction since Mr. Mis Griii
is being groomed to do it so as to keep his job. Have you ever had any work
from him he strikes me as an old flubby dubby but I’m probably prejudiced.
I picked up a Collegian
the other day but all I could see of even minor interest is that the A.M.s are
trying to reorganize if the can get enough 4F, old men and children together to
choose from.
Stay lucky!! Love
Cornelia
