Bill on his way "Overseas" and Dorothy responds
APO space 13135 c/o postmaster New York, N.Y. June 16, 1944 Dear Dorothy, I thought I should give you another little piece of information seeing as how it could very easily be the last one. I am here in New York ready to go overseas. I arrived the last night and according to the “Ouija “ board I should leave tomorrow. But I imagine I’ll be here about a week. I’ll be getting my first experience in the air because I am to fly across. However I get seven dollars a day while flying. ( I wouldn’t mind if they stayed up a couple months.) I managed to get a few days delay en route so I went up to Minnesota to see the grandparents and to my surprise my “ Choata” brother was there. I only had two days but it was better than none. John went around by Australia, Panama and landed in Boston he met Harrison, Pickett and Bell in the lobby of the Empire State while he was in N.Y. I am going to see if I can’t bump into someone I know up there ...
