Nile Kinnick correspondence, January-May 1942

1942-03-12: Page 04

Received your cookies, mother, and they were good, very good.  Had a letter from grandma today in which she says she is sending me soon - good deal.  I shall be ready.
Gus, did you get the card I sent to you at Waukon, Iowa?  From the schedule of your N.F.L.A. meetings you sent me, I thought it should arrive about right.  Or did you ever get there?
Thanks for the information on Gog I asked for, also the quotation from "Judahs Sceptre & Joseph's Birthright."  Wish I could feel as optimistic about the near end of the war as you do.  Russia is kicking hell out of Germany though - and Japan in getting strung out so that if we ever do get a big offensive under weigh we should really clean house.
Well, I have run out of stationery & must close.  Will get some more tomorrow & plan to write at length over the weekend - I hope.  Sure do enjoy hearing from you.  Things go well with me.  Finger coming along ok.
Love
S.B.
