Kenneth Dole to Dad

1943-10-26

To: Dad 1943_10_26 From: Kenney [2 page letter] Date: 10-26-1943 10-26-43 Dear Dad: I. have a few minutes to write you a line or two. Mom got here Sunday morning at 6:30. Bob & I met her at the train, we got passes saturday [sic] at 5:00 and went to the hotel there, we were lucky as we got a real nice room for only $3.00, we ate dinner & supper Sunday and then, last night we got passes again and went to town and ate supper and looked around town. I was sure glad mom came down I wish you would have come too, but maybe we will get a furlough – I hope – and then we can all be together. Bob left this morning for Bivouac I go next week, mom left for Denning today she will be there by the time you get this. as We only have one hike left this bivouac one way so I have 64 miles to walk yet with a full pack. “over” Well pop I must close for now I just thought I would let you know how everything turned out I will drop you a line as soon as possible so until then be good. “How are the parlay’s coming out” Dad if I should get a furlough would it be a good idea to have you send a money order now, because the guy with the money gets the first chance to go if he has it or should I just wait & write a check on you if I get a furlough, the only trouble with the check is it may not be so easy to I cash it as a money order is. If you send a money order & I don’t get a furlough I can send the money order back to you. Think it over & let me know. Love Kenney
