They must have included an extra salary check which simply did not come under 1943 salary. They pay after the 2 week period, not in advance. I don't see any reason why any more is due and I wish you'd see Mr [Conden?]. I paid $45.07. Incidentally, I hope you have the statistics on last year's whopper so when they want some more on that you'll be ready. After this year the joke will be on them because I don't intend to have an income. It's too expensive! I'm glad you like the watch. We won't discuss the cost, but consider it a "bread & butter" present. Yes, a hammock would be nice in the back yard. Want me to knit one? Be sure to tell Col. Dyke where I'm going & ask if he knows anyone there. Thanks for the calendar. I wonder what I'll chalk up on it. It's possible that Libby, the one I liked at Langley Field, may be the one to take Phyllis' place. She came in this morning. I'd much prefer her, but she has a back injury & is not too hopeful that they'll send her. Too bad Iowa lost that game. They must have missed Herb. I called Julia yesterday, in spite of a hunch I shouldn't, and she talked (over)
