Sun, Feb 18, 1945: health

"Aunt Frances has had a second letter from Joyce.  He still didn't say much except that he was O.K.  Aunt Edith heard from Max and he had crossed the equator and was where it was very hot but she does not know exactly his whereabouts  However she thinks he was headed for the Phillipines....
"Your work seems to be getting harder isn't it?  Don't (as you say) ruin your health by studying too hard.  It isn't worth that much.  Besides if you just can't make it there is always something else you can do.  I think you have done very well considering the fact that you had no previous training at all.  It is no wonder some of them seem to get along so well when they have had thirteen years to study etc."

-- Letter from my grandmother, Bloomington, Kans., to my father, Boulder, Colo., Sunday, February 18, 1945
