that was taken the first day we were here. We had on enlisted men's coats on the way to the warehouse for uniforms. Please send full instructions as to how to use your camera. We don't seem to be able to get it focused right. So I haven't used the second roll of films. Well this week tells the story whether I get to come home and what I will be doing. We are all getting curious. I am still holding out for Motor Corps.

I talked to Peggy and Mildred the other night. I guess you have seen them and they told you if anything serious should happen at home and you would want me call Red Cross Headquarters there and tell them the situation and request emergency furlough. Also have the Dr. call them.

Women's Army Auxiliary Corps For Des Moines, Iowa

For Des Moines, IA Monday Noon

Dear Kids,

Received box yesterday and did I ever appreciate it. Those dates were really good. I was on special detail yesterday. Officers mess. They are trying to convert me into being a cook and I won't be converted for that is not what I want. It is a shame the way they waste food. Gallons of coffee, great chunks of butter and every thing else throwed out. For dinner yesterday: carrot sticks, soup, stuffed celery, roast duck and dressing, potatoes, asparagus, aspic salad, hot rolls and butter, coffee, milk, fresh strawberry shortcacke with ice cream.

Tues noon. Just finished eadting dinner. 2pm. Just set down and was called out on the double to report to supply room for scarf. Now I am in class and just heard that we would be free from next Wed until Mon. So I would like to come home so if you want me send me some money this weekend so I can ask for my pass as soon as possible. I understand your own basic training will be finished then and we will know what corps we will be in and what we are going to do. I feel like a school kid going to school so much.

I have started and stopped so much since I started to write this letter. I don't know what I am doing. You have never sent me Al's address.

Has he been down lately? What did he have to say? Peggy has never wrote to me and Mildred owes me a letter.

Well guess I had better ring off for this time. Write often.

Love, Mother

The fare will be $8.50 and I won't get Pullman's for we can't get rates if we do. It doesn't hurt me to set up and sleep.
