John William Graham letters, October-November 1944

1944-11-28 John Graham to Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Graham Page 1

November 28, 1944
Italy
Dear Dad & Mom:
This is a typical fall day when it's nasty, rather cold and spitting rain from a dark gray sky.  I'm in our house tho beside the stove where it is warm and dry.  Am caught up on my work again for a change but I've sure had a busy couple of weeks.
Just made up my laundry to go out for this week and have cleaned up a couple of days grease & grime with a general renovating, shampoo, haircut, shave and bath feel like a million dollars but would settle for slightly less.
Sent my pictures or negatives rather which Bob took at Pompeii out with a fellow who is going on pass to have developed.  I'll send a set home as soon as they get back.  The negatives looked pretty good but the developing over here is not good.
Got three letters from you last night two V-mails and an air mail one which was mailed the thirteenth.  One of the V-mails wasn't photographed don't know why unless it wasn't black enough.  What a shame about

Saving...
