Description

Ahn (later Mrs. Cuddy) encloses $1 and promises that "if and when I get a commission I shall send more!" "It is a happy day when the mail brings a long envelope with L.C.P. on the corner." Although hanging out with sailors does "butcher up" one's language, she writes that it is "most unique and very unusual--but more fun!" Ahn is a WAVE (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) instructor on a Link trainer.
