Dear Herm:
How you doin!? - Will you please tell us who won that ball game. Jimmy Dykes or Camp Grant? Regarding your request to take pictures of all the local surroundings please be advised that I have neither the time nor the camera in addition to the fact that Eddie has left for the Army and I am now breaking in a new boy. We had a party last week at Sylvia’s for Herm and Frances; a going back to the Army party. Outside of that it’s been all work. Things have picked up in the

restaurant. Helen did $43.00 one day last week. We did $725 last week. [$11,451 in 2021] Fairly good. Ida’s been swimming over at the Ohev Shalom pool several times. Pop sure bores the hell out of people talking about you. He thinks you’re General Eisenhower. Are you doing a lot of drilling? Sergeant is spelled sergeant and not sargent. Please note. Let me know if you need anything. Harry
