Dear Folks:
I know I certainly owe you a letter but circumstances have been such lately that it has been very hard to find time (to write). I hope I will be able to catch up some. And now that I have started this letter darned if I can think of much to write about. Soon I can write more freely and tell you what these circumstances were that kept me so busy. Notice the change of address—stick a 1st BN after Hq. Btry. Talked to Dick on the phone last night and hope to see him next Sunday if nothing happens to our plans. It seems I’m always as anxious to meet him as if I hadn’t seen him in a long time. The office has been growing bigger and presently we moved into new quarters that are ‘luxurious’ compared to our former building. The place is a former prayer room so I understand, in a Japanese house. Doors and walls are sliding affairs and there are innumerable small rooms and hallways. The former kneeling row I guess it is, is used as a long desk to seat five clerks, kind of intriguing to walk around the place. I wish you were able to see the place. Well I’ll tell you more about it later.
Haven’t heard from you in quite a while but suppose the mail will catch up soon. Had a letter from B. Emick a few days ago and he rattled on and on about England and how he likes it. Can’t get up the initiative to answer though. Sounds like he’s found a wife there. I wouldn’t be surprised. Also got a Christmas card from the former Mary Bohm—what a surprise! Have been trying to stick to my books as much as possible but lately haven’t had the time. I’m looking into the possibilities and opportunity I may now have to do something more definite along that line. I’ll explain later. Well for this time this is all but I’ll write very soon again and try to be more explicit.
Love,
