28 Aug 44 Dear Folks - still in the pup tent. but its daylite now but drizzling. I hardly thot I'd ever live in one of these things - & with all my equipment. theres 2 of us to the tent by the way. The illustration might give you an idea. [[image - drawing of pup tent]] Its open on one end - that's where the rain comes in. first I'll answer your letters about the new hammersley manor - how is the place heated - or are sweaters used. As I mentioned before am very eager to see a sketch of the place. Is the patio in front or back? Is Burlingame any where near the beach or bay? I am probably repeating myself with these questions so bear with me. I got your U-mail of the 12th yesterday Sis, one of sketches of your displays. thanks, enjoyed them. its a matter of taste but since suit was white with touth of red - how would it have been if your arrow were white with "coolness" a very light gray yellow. (just suggest the yellow) & maybe ribbon same treatment. would have to see to tell. - now to review this last move. when we moved to this large estate (from barracks) I was rather pleased not only with the surroundings but also with the fact I was much closer to both Bath & London and nicer still we returned to the civilian custom of observing Sunday as a day of rest. but unfortunately our stay didn't include more than one of these days. I was kept busy painting our colors & number on alot of the equipment. [[left margin]] oh yes I received the film before I left England & I thank you very much, am curious to see how it is - never heard of it before. [[/left margin]]
