A letter from Sgt. Alfred Tucker in England tells us that he is going along OK. He added that he was in London last week-end and met CLAUDE PELLICER there and really had a good time talking over old times and also the new ones. After we met, we realized that we are stationed only a few miles apart. I spent last night and yesterday over at his field, I haven't much to say for myself except I would like to be with some of those boys that are actually fighting, instead of pushing a pencil. I hear from Richard Tucker.

(Ed note– Tucker is in the Southwest Pacific theater).

I am going on furlough on the 26th of this month. I am going to spend two days on the Isle of Man and six days touring Scotland. Will write you about the trip when I get back from there."

(Mrs. George Biddle here said to tell you she hopes you enjoy Scotland, for it's her native country)
