Charles Jr. to Betty Jean, and BJB’s address is Box 104, Hampden, MA. On Desert Hotel stationery.

"Hurry along w/the picture for me; want to see what you look like now that you’re grown up. Thanks for the letter from my Dad to yours [not present]; interesting that 20, 40, & 60 yrs ago people lived, played, & fought wars the same as now. Have not heard of “The Constant Nymph” w/ Charles Boyer over here; personally I think Ch Boyer’s brand of love is a bit windy & awfully sticky; I prefer the direct attack & the short answer system, just yes! or no! Anyway I haven’t rec’d any complaints on that sys and it works for me. Who says you were gawky the last time I saw you; anyone not nearsighted would have seen you’ll be darn cute if not beautiful, like your mother. Time for me to get back to fighting the war, so I’ll sign off; been overseas more than a year now: no fresh milk, doughnuts, Am beer, ice cream, or coca cola. Give my best to all the folks. Love, Charlie B."
