"Sat. 9-30-44 Dear Joyce, I just got back from the Villanova game which Villanova won 14-6. It rained like H until we got to the game & it didn't rain at all during the game. It was very very good game. Hannah Van Dyke's younger brother Dick was killed in action. Congratulations on getting capped. That's nice doing. Wil write next week. Lots of love, Wilma"
