Hi Love;
A buddy just gave me a stick of gum, reminded me of how I was always bumming it from you. Would send you some, but can’t. Besides that, pliz don’t mail me anything that can be bought at the local gyp joints. You see all the gear we buy is quite a bit cheaper than the price to civilianos; therefore impossible to send out and a waste penny to send in. Remembrances (like W.W., Martin also innovates a foo words) are hanging heavy this eve. The letter from thee containing card with F.E. Hughes written upon it reminds of the Charles Evans by the same name. Marvelous forefathers Miss Wylie, something of a name to be rather proud of. (Even Republicans can be great men, but not presidents.) Speakin of Reps. (either the elephant men or reprobates) you bring in the scurrilous old creator of blasphemy to my attention. Im positive that we both have the same man in mind; he doesn’t like the great I II III or IV Mrs. of the same, any labor leaders, or American favorite party. Ah my maiden tis well tho, cause there are always martyred few who will fight for the downfall of great ones. We weren’t so elderly when FD ascended the throne, so don’t take all the nice things Ive said to heart, really can’t remember much about the one before.
Once mentioned a cartoonest who scribe neath the name of Mauldin. Enclosed herein is one of his usual run of the mill masterpieces. He’s a coolie, for no one else seems to partake in the schedule that was long ago adopted for us.
This chap will unlease amoroso attempt upon return to catch up on all lost time. Not at drinking, nor visiting, but just being with you. Can we crowd a couple of years in some nite?
Love always
Kenny Lee
