Description

Mary Lee [Cowart?] writes from Bristow, Oklahoma, stating that World War II has not had a significant impact on their lives. Mary Lee plans to go to Tulsa as soon as the polio epidemic subsides to take Zada Lee to the dentist. She spoke with Rufus who was practicing flying in a fighter plane over the Atlantic Ocean in Jacksonville, Florida, and mentions that his training school appeared in an article in the South East Post. She mentions Little Frank's trip to Jackson, Mississippi, before heading to Pensacola, Florida, to go on the destroyer again. She relays updates on a number of other people. Mary Lee discusses her garden, the hot summer, and receiving orders from Little Rock.
