Feature Letter of September 12th, 2025
Scandiffio, Francis Michael
Dear Pepper,
And how are you today? Now listen to me for a change - when you address me as Sarge stand at attention and don't you dare open your trap until you're addressed. I got your letter Aug. 7, 1942 and also your 300 Buckinghams. You really shouldn't have sent the cigarettes, honeypot, but since you insist O.K.
My sister Ann is sending me cigarettes quite regularly and most of them get here sooner or later. Thanks, Esther. And you too, Herb. I won't be bumming cigs for a month or more. Boy am I ever popular around these parts. We never have to worry about a fag at this squadron. No sir, not while I've got any....I received a huge parcel from Millie a few weeks ago. Golly she put everything in it but the stove and a can opener. We've got a few stoves here so please tell Millie not to send the stove. My sister Ann tells me that things are being rationed in Canada. I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for you folks in Canada. Let me know what you are in need of and I'll make out a parcel and send you some things you need. I had an apple a few weeks ago, a little puny green crab apple. Some friends in England gave it to me. When things get tough over there you can come over here and look me up and I'll see that you get everything they want to give you. I had an egg for breakfast this morning. Yah!
