Well we had a second typhoid shot today. It didn’t bother me a bit until about 6 at nite & I had a fever for 2 hours. I played ping pong 2 games & that kept my arm from getting stiff. Well the long awaited news came today. We start to work at 8:30 at Hal Roach’s studio checking over & listing all grip equipment. We have to be ready to go by Oct 7th. Received a letter from Harry. He’s ready to leave in 15 to 45 days. He’s happy tho. God watch over him.

Well am still grounded and there is a mission going to Conches Airdrome, France. Sgt. Slate is going by his self. Capt. is in town and will be back tonite. Slate got back around 6:00 & when we came back from lunch he & Mandy & Elliot, both back from furloughs, came in. The doctor told me I could fly again so I’ll go up in the morning I suppose.
