Magnificent vegetable garden; massive feats of canning.  Jane Crofut Kinder pregnant and not able to do much.  Pregnancy still a secret.  Very curious about GTK’s new assignment and transfer.  Life magazine article on July 19 about it.  Can’t believe GTK is in the Army given his vision problems, much less a combat unit.  Very funny letters from John Campbell Kinder (JCK) about conditions at Ft. Bragg, including bed bugs.  Can’t get accurate information about JCK’s unit.  Angus, the Dachshund, arrived in Brookside
