DescriptionOne letter addressed to Mollie from Violet and dated March 23, 1943.;March 26, 1943

Dear Mollie,
Thank you ever so much for sending the Rough Rider to me you don't know how much I appreciate it. Reading it made me sort of home sick. Remember that picture of the cafeteria? I saw some faces that I know. It sure felt good to see them. Hope you received the stamp I sent you in my last letter.
Do you hear from Sandie? I don't see her very often. Just in school.
Congratulations! I read in the Rough Rider that you're going to be a C.F.S. Are you a Senior A or B? I thought that only Senior A's were honored. Are you keeping something from me? Don't keep me in the dark, now. You don't know how surprised I was.
How are the senior sweaters? I sure wish I had one. Man is our graduation going to be sad. I guess I told you this before so no use boring you again. R.A.F Blue seems to be a very popular color.
Mollie, may I please ask you to do another favor for me? I am sending you 25¢ for that senior pictorial edition and also 6¢ for the next four editions of the Rough Rider. Thank you very much, and also 10¢ for postage for the Sr. Ed.
Well, well, the gong is ringing for us to go eat and boy am I hungry. You know me. ?????????

Best of luck to you.

Sincerely yours,
Violet Saito
