Letter 12: July 21, 1941 from Yorkton, SK
July
21, 1941
Dear
Ellen
Hello Nell, the girl that locks one
door & leaves the other one open so she can hear her little brother enter
the house & know what time. I pity your poor kids if you ever have any. If
Arch has bust both his arms he could dictate a letter to Muriel or you & it
would be gladly accepted by his brother Fred, you know the one that’s in the
Air Force.
Well Ellen I guess you got back to
work ok & enjoying life. Myrtle for back okay, Mr Gaull drove her to her
house & I went in for a minute & said to her folks. He thought that
Myrtle was my girl friend. He is quite the boy, I think he gets around a lot.
We sure enjoyed our trip up here with him. Got in about ten minutes late but
everything was okay.
Ark & I went to the Yorkton Fair one
night but it was damned corny..
Flying has been going okay with both
of us, we each got about 25 hours flying in the Harvard’s. Been doing
acrobatics lately & these planes really handle slick. Start a cross country
trip tomorrow.
I’ll have to cut this letter a
little short Ellen as the lights are going out.
So I’ll close for now
Your loving brother
Fred

One
story
The definition of a glutton, a man
that eats a chicken for breakfast, and a chicken for dinner, and a chicken for
supper and goes to bed a night with a breast in one hand and a bone in the
other.
There is a wings parade here
tomorrow, that is Weds, the Australians who are senior class here ate getting
their wings. They had a rehearsal of the parade this morning, the whole damn station
was in it.
I wonder if the army sergeant from
Portage went to visit Archie about a couple of weeks ago. I told him to look
Archie up & you to, but you were at home. I met him at Portage through a
girl.
(Sorry I forgot your box number,
I’ll have to write it down)
