Dear Dad. I am including this note to thank you for the money you have been sending me. I have been trying not to have to borrow any and I have only been out one weekend here. If you can advance me about $10 I will try not to ask for more till after the war. I had to borrow $12 when I lost mine. I am really sorry to ask this and thanks a lot. Love to all, Joe P.S. Hi Sis.
