August 31, 1931 - Monday

What a clean afternoon. I have had not many rooms so I was thru at 2:30. I washed 34 hankies, 5 pairs of stockings and my smock. On duty tonight. I wonder what’s troubling George? I certainly have had a wonderful time the past month even if I did have to work hard toward the last. George is darling and it is so easy to have a good time with everybody up here.

My cold was much better today. Ray gave me some stuff that works swell. Tonight Jean gave me some more dope and last night Jene gave me some pills. Worked until 3:30 then went on duty. Went for a walk with George.

August 29, 1931 - Saturday

My cold was awful today and I croaked all day and felt rotten but I won’t let it get me down. I talked to George ‘til he went to bed at 9:30. At twenty to ten went to dance with Jean & Tom. Swell time!! Probably get pneumonia tho’.

My cold seems to be better tonight. It has moved up to my nose. We only had 15 rooms. But I was so tired from my cold, I didn’t finish until four. George sat by fire with me and talked until 10:20.

What a sore throat I had this morning. I could hardly talk. It’s fun to eat breakfast at the café with George. We had 19 rooms today. I got five letters today and one from George & Dave. George helped me be on duty!

George's letter home:

Dear Mom,

Here is a letter that is no doubt due. Things are just about the same up here, although the nights are getting darn cold. There seems to be no business at all around this place; us kids are the only ones who even eat around here.

Darn if I know what to write about anymore. This place doesn’t seem to afford much material for correspondence. I am enclosing some pictures in this letter. The girl is Ann Powell of Manila and way points.

Love, George
