1 was glad to get your letter of Hovoraber 2nd last Monday and -to 
hear by way of the radiogram the same day that you - are headed home, 
Mrs* Schmitt was dorm Monday and brought your last bunoh of diary, 
which I have not quite finished typing. I am sorry to -not© that periods and 
other punctuation marks seem to b© as scarce in Alaska as the cra|s you wore 
looking fori 111 
Mrs. Morgan called up Tuesday about noon, they were just leav- 
ing, It turned pretty oold that day and she said her husband couldn't 
wait to get going— that he was honking the horn that minute for her to 
come. She said she was very sorry that it had been impossible, after all 
to have your family and me for waffles. She had tried to call Mrs. Sohs&tt 
that morning, but could not get her, so asked me to pass on her regrets. 
They had called at the Library Monday and visited' Waldo for a few minutes.

Yesterday Mr. Bryant called and said, "Do you know Lee Garter 
Boone?" I laughed, but he said he was serious and wanted to know if it 
was our old friend Pearl . I didn't know, but said I wouldn’t be surprised. 
Anyway, an individual by that name lias applied for a job in the War Depart- 
ment, giving U.S.H.M* as reference. Mr* Bryant had an inquiry from the 
War Department, This morning as I was coming in I met Andrew Pi zsini 
at the door and asked him if Pearl had ever called herself Lee Carter 
Boone, and he said oh, yes, often. Ho said she had even signed checks 
"Virginia Lee Carroll Carter Boon®." I said, " 3he belongs to all the 
fine old families, doesn’t she?" I told Mr. Bryant this morning what 
Andrew told me, ■ 
Mr. Maloney went out to see Kelly yesterday. We all pooled our 
resources and got him a carton of cigarettes, which Maloney took along, 
instead of flowers, Mrs. Kelly had told me that he had piles of flower®, 
I guess everybody in the lodge goes to see him and sends flowers. Hr. 
Maloney said a lodge brother ms there yesterday while he was there. 
Maloney said he spent an hour listening to the details of the operation. 
Mrs. Kelly called me one day this weak and said that Sunday a week ago 
Kelly was very ill and they thought they would lose him. She said, "They 
gave him enemy after enemy, but it didn't do any good, and finally they 
had to take the enemies away." Apparently he had terrific gas pains, but 
they finally got better. Maloney says he seems to be enjoying himself. 
I jus t heard yesterday that Mr, Perrygo has reoently been 
divorced. I didn't know he was married.
