Dear Ida,
Thanks for letting me know about Carol. I could hardly believe it. I think she could have been decent enough to write herself. It was kind of hard to take at first, but I guess it’s all for the best. Who did she marry? One of those USO heros? Give her my best wishes. I sincerely hope she’ll be very happy. Every little thing here is O.K. The weather has taken a turn for the good and we haven’t had any rain for the past few days. How’s your driving coming along? Do we still have garage doors? I can just imagine you and Janet going for spring water. I’ll bet she even tries to help you with the jugs.

All for now, Butch,
See you,
Herm
