Laura Davis letters to her husband Lloyd Davis, January-March 1943

1943-01-30 Laura Davis to Lloyd Davis Page 2

got a light brown woven one, not very big.
I took the picture frame to Lasswells and they couldn't duplicate it, then I took it to Pratskas and they are going to fix it for us. That will be lots better than a new one, don't you think, when I couldn't get a duplicate? I got from Pratskas a sterling silver infantry insignia, the type that has the screw button to hold it. It is small and nicely made. He put it on the corner of my coat collar and I think you'll like it. Mt  coat has enough blue to harmonize and enough stripe to show it off. I'll wear it there all the time except perhaps when I have it on the lapel of my black suit. 
Saw George at Treasurers office. He was after his license and I was cashing my pay check. Lynn was just ahead of him. George said he got a package + letter Wed and wrote (or sent a package) to you on Thursday.
