![]() I don’t know what to think about that, though. Even the girl over here, she’s reading something and smiling. ![]() Ralph Miller: Okay, we’re back on the air again she says, so I have to start talking again. So I’m going to turn the record over now, Mother. Very pretty girls, nice little smile, just love it. Can you - how is the record coming along? Can you hear the record music out there? Boy, beautiful music out there, beautiful music, beautiful girls and plenty of eats. Well, now I can go and tell you about all this here good music if you can’t hear it out there. They tell me it’s pretty hard to get out of California though because of train transportation and everything else, but I’m still going to try and maybe I’ll be home before even this war is over and back after the war is over, I hope. However, I’m going to still try and get a leave before I ship out this time. The doctor wouldn't pass it - you know, my doctor passed it, but the captain wouldn’t pass it as yet. The reason I called you the other night was to tell you I was trying for a 30-day leave however, it didn’t go through. ![]() You know, I told you on the phone it was just because I was a little stewed or something, but it wasn’t true. Well, I’ll tell you why I called the other night. Ralph Miller: Isn’t that nice, huh? We’re going to have a lot of fun tonight. Right now I’m at USO where I’m making this record. Just got up here a little while ago, and it's just some real town up here, having a lot of fun up here. Here I am making one of these here records up here in Los Angeles.

Other boys like to talk to their folks, too. You can play this record over and over while I’m away. Be sure to write and let me know how I sound. I’ll answer as soon as I can, though time is very precious here on the island. Remember me to everybody and tell them all to write. ![]() How about that camera one of these days? I'm still waiting for it. So you keep me happy and everything will be swell. Mail call is the happiest or the satisfying part of the day for everyone. I guess you have to be a soldier to realize what I mean. They keep me too busy to get homesick here, but I sure would like to see you all right now. The funny thing though, I sort of like it all, but I hope you both feel as well as I do. Same old routines from revelry to test, movie, letters and a show once in a while. There isn’t much to report that I haven’t said in my letters but I thought of you very much anyway. It’s swell to get this chance to talk to you again cheaper than a long distance phone call, too, and it'll last much longer, but I sure would like to hear your voices once more.
