John N. Calhoun family letters, August 1941-February 1946

1941-09-14 Page 2

Information center. The envelopes all stuck shut, so can't use them.
 I am OK. Feel kinda lazy and do less. There are a few of the leaves starting to turn here and enclose a few which have some pretty hues. No letter from you last night and suppose you were pretty busy and also pretty tired.  Don't work too hard.
We had meat-loaf for dinner. Pretty good. Also mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet corn and mixed fruit.
I don't have much appetite and miss a meal once in a while. However, as fat as I am it probably don't hurt much. 
You had better have Ruth cut out all the items in the paper for my scrap book because I miss reading it about half of the time.
Must close. Washed some socks and towel and underwear.  Don't do so good, except on socks.
Lovingly your                                                      Daddy.
