John William Graham letters, May-July 1944

1944-07-04 M.Sgt. John W. Graham to Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Graham Page 2

He's very discouraged about all the wet weather they've had but I know if he doesnt get a good crop it wont be his fault. I wish I could be as good a farmer as he is I'd be mighty happy. They rather looked for you down there for the big family picnic but I suppose the gas & tires were too thin for the trip.
We have a fly & mosquito spray over here that surely does the work. Comes in a little pressure can which automatically sprays when you remove the cap. Just a few seconds will drive the bugs out for a couple of hours.---
This is about six hours since I started this seems as tho I've had one interruption after another but think I'll finish up this spell. I've received two packages of stationary but not the licorice as yet, no doubt I will soon. Thats plenty of paper for awhile.
The light is getting so bad I guess Ill have to quit. Should be able to write again tomorrow.
Love
Johnny
