Description
Summary:Danforth types on a typewriter with all capital letters used for decoding Morse code. Having received an envelope with no contents from Lauren Post, he "used the envelope as definite proof to the fellows that all college professors are absent-minded." Not only is it no military secret that he is at Elmendorf Field, "it also is no military secret that it's cold as hell up here." He sees no one else from San Diego State College. Lauren C. Post Box 2, Folder 7
