Sylvia got home on Saturday and had to rush over to the butcher, because he was only going to hold the weekend meat for an hour because of the acute shortages of meat. She took a walk and ran into Captain Abelow who told her about army life and how much he loves being a part of it. She encloses a typed letter with tiny doodles throughout that stand for certain words and explains her night.
