John William Graham letters, October-November 1944

1944-10-11 John Graham to Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Graham Page 2

Yes I really enjoyed "Barretta of Wimpole Street" the little dog was in it guess that's who "Flash" was I didn't remember his name.  I thought I would see Ralph Pixler and looked for him for it was in his town where I saw it.  There was such a crowd tho it's no wonder I missed him.
My friend Bill wanted some of the prints which Bob took or I would have sent them home before.  A couple of them were spoiled for Bill is so tall, his head is cut off don't know how Bob happened to slip up on that.  I think I've found a place to send them now so it shouldn't be too long.  You should have received some other snap shots I've sent by now.
Mrs. Schroeder certainly makes up her mind abruptly when she decides on something doesn't she.  I hope her plans all work out okay but they usually end in a mess it seems.
The package which had the things from Dede Johnson in it came thru in good shape when it finally got here.  I don't think many things are lost in the mail just delayed a long time.
Yesterday we put up a clothes line to air our bedding on.  There are six of us living together so every man can have it one day a week with Sunday off.  Can't rely on the weather being that good over here this season however.
We have two other Grahams in our outfit now, John T. & Richard both Lieutenants so you see the rest of the Graham clan is smarter than I am.
I'm mighty sorry to hear Harley is leaving the yard, can't blame him tho the wages he will get.  Wish Pop had another man in view or I could be home to offer what little help I'd be around there.
Certainly seems funny to hear you speak of a Christmas package this time of year but maybe it will be when I get it.  Don't worry about sending me things for I'm getting along fine & don't need much.  Kind of like Brad said about visiting in Wadena -
Love
Johnny
