Ross would like to be placed on the mailing list for the Aztec News Letter. He sends what news he knows of Barney and Mrs. Carmen, "Bud" and Betty Forbes Thompson, and Ed "Buzz" Smythe. He himself "just had a change of billet, and am now the supply officer on the USS Pleiades, a naval supply ship." His ship was at Boston on March 18, and was at this time making supply runs to Iceland and the United Kingdom. Lauren C.
