Sylvia went to work and met her new supervisor (a man). She told her male co-workers to stop treating her differently because she knows what she is doing. Asks about whether he will be getting a furlough, or should she come out to the West coast to him. Says the Axis put up a resistance on the Russian front to a point; but knows this is the beginning of the end.
