              | April 2, 1944 - Birth of Sister 
              Mae's Second Child V-Mail - Italy
 
 "...Just heard from Vic (Dad's 
              sister) and she told me all about the bundle 
              of joy (Birth of Mae's second child). 
              True, I myself sort of wanted to be an uncle to a boy but guess I'm 
              really prepared for a niece again. I'm glad for you honestly and know 
              darn right well I'll now have two favorite nieces. When Lynda was 
              born I was in New Mexico (Civilian Conservation Corps)
              if you remember-shortly afterward I came 
              home. Let's hope this is a repetition of the same...Blondie's as ever 
              been writing me every day. I don't think that should interest you, 
              but when a guy thinks so much of a girl he sure wants all to know 
              it. Two-to-one my first child (my wife's) is a boy..."
