Here I am again &  louder than ever I’m still  yelling “Short”. Maybe  one day soon I’ll be  able to yell “Done” – real  soon too! I’m sitting up all night  with Duty – sounds like  fun doesing it. Kind  of lonely though – sitting  here all by myself &  no fun what so ever. I did go over to the  mess hall a short while  ago. So I can sit here & eat  my sandwich and get  fat. My peach & cherry pie  as well.                               [[Nick Dante 7/7/16]] [[Page 3- Letter]]   You talk about all those  girls with round eyes &  me seeing them again. It  may be weird but I’m  looking forward to it  anyway – you too. I think  if I see anyone with  slanted eyes I am going  to do them in on the  spot. “Perhaps you had  best check yours out  before I see you again”   Well Patti I’ll close  for now – so see you  soon       My Love,   Stan
