Letter

Duffy, John
Shields, Frank

Dear Frank,
I am terribly sorry that I haven't written to you sooner but to tell the truth I lost your address & I just got it again.

Well how do you find army life. I guess it's a bit disgusting & inefficient but you'll like it as time goes by. The basic part as you must know now is by far the hardest schedule in army life. I am glad to hear you qualified for OCS - if you didn't I don't know who could. I qualified also but it doesn't mean anything to me.

Well here at Pitt everything is fine. My dad & mother were out to see me a couple of weeks ago and that certainly made me happy. I fly in a week & a half or so then on to Nashville in about a month. After classification there we find out what we will do. My studies here at school are physics and math - two rather difficult subjects but with God's help I will make out okay.

Eug I see is now a 1st class private. John's deferment is up so soon he may be going. My cousin is getting ready to go overseas. Well Frank let me hear from you soon. With the best personal regards I remain,

 A true friend
Johnnie D. a/c
