Wally gave me $5 tonight for clothes. He gave me $2 last week for Kathy, too. He makes 60 cents per hour at the Ordnance Plant. He makes $165 per month at bank, with $16.50 deducted per month for War bonds, $6.40 for Victory Tax and $1.65 Social Security. We still owe $50 on the $300 loan from upstairs have loans on 3 ins. Policies. $56 – $35 – $100.00. Owe about $300 on the car & $1100 on our house. And Wally will probably be drafted next Sept. We have the $180 for living room suit & mattress we bought last June paid.
