Fri. P.M.

Mary dear -

No mail from anybody at home yet. Hope you have received my address by this time and that something ill be coming along tomorrow.

I have been “bending my elbow” this afternoon. After class my roomieand I walked over to Harvard Sq., about 1/2 mi. We have to wear our garrison caps, the kind you like, when off the post. This area is alive with Navy and Army men - so I am bending my elbow most of my way up and down the street acknowledging salutes.

There is about the same number of Naval men over at Harvard Sq. as here, approximately 1000.
the Army’s Chaplin School is over there too. If I get a chance I will try and locate ???. Donald Sunday. he will be leaving here soon as their’s is a 30 day Cou?? too.

Hope to get into Boston tomorrow P.M. and get some shoes. Also see a movie, anything to get a change.
Some snow fall her elast nite, about 14 inches. Hope you escaped this one. Going to be cold tonite - clear and about 15 above now.

Wish I could think of something to say. I a m looking for a letter and thinking of you all the time. I don’t have much time to pray now - so you will have to do most of it.

All my love,
Bill

WILLIAM F. HOGAN
BOLIVAR, NEW YORK

7/3/41

Mary dear-

I am writing this before I call so that It will get in the mail tonight.

Received word from the ‘big shot’ this morning that he will be hom Monday. I really have something important, which requires an answer not later than Tuesday, to take up with him.

In as much as he will be here Monday. I believe it advisable to remain here. I know I could come down and back Sunday, but I would really like a little time to do something on my next N.Y. trip. I am sorry, cause I believe you will be disappointed, at least I am.

They told me at the Buffalo airport yesterday that they are going to continue at Rochester only when weather conditions at
Bflo. prohibit a safe landing. If you come Saturday we will do something in Bflo. that night. How’s about it, let me know?

Haven’t received a letter from you yet. I hope there will be one waiting when I get home.

Saw “Aunt R” this P.M. she was headed for Hide-Away, giving a party for some of the girls.

Otherwise things in town are normal as far as I know. It has cooled off several degrees and it was possible to sleep last night.

Please don’t stay away too long, I miss you a double “helluva lot” and wish I could be with you right now. I have thought about you often, in fact when I am not working it is incessant. Hope you are able to decipher this.

All my love,

Bill
