Here’s a short and newsy note from Dot. She blames Dart for the brevity of this one, because she took him up on his suggestion to read “The Robe,” and she’s finding it hard to put down.

The 7th War Bond Sale started at Franklin-Simon today. Every employee is encouraged to sell $500 worth by the end of the sale and Dot scored big with a $100 sale this morning. Now she’s inspired to make a real project of this and sell a lot. The store is ranking the employees by the amount they sell, with everyone starting as a lowly private. Dot is already a corporal, with her eye on 5-star general.

She wishes him sweet dreams in his new bed.
