(seq. 58)

a very different class of people.
I get good pay here $35 a week
and meals. My hours are
from 12 noon til 8 P.M.
The people-manager, head-
waiter, etc. are very considerate.

I have been keeping
company with a Lt. in the
British Navy for about a
month, but his ship leaves
this week. I still hope to
get to England before the war
is over - via Canada in
the summer, [etc?] H. Hughes,
has given up his folks
address in Somerset to look
up. His father is in a Concen-
tration Camp in Germany -
isn't that horrible?

You will never know how
really happy I was to
hear the good news about
Mr + Mrs Ralph. Of all the
people in the world, they
deserve this happiness.

I must go to bed
now as it is getting late.
Please write soon and
reassure me.

Your devoted step-daughter
Barbara
