Dear Mollye:—
I’m glad that you liked my letter. Seriously though, the hula skirts are made of the bark from the banana tree. The bark is striped and dried and then woven together. The dried bark has the color of straw. Sometimes they
color the skirts. You’ll really laugh when I tell you how they color the skirts. They soak the crepe paper in water and all the color comes out of the paper. They then soak the skirts in the colored water and the primitive natives here manufacture their hula skirts.
I wrote Bob a letter, in fact, two letters, while I only received one. So I’m “one up” on him. I wish I could tell you where I am. I too could say that I am on the — just as Happy, David, Steve, and Alfie did, but it wouldn’t do any good because they are all in the Army and there is no Army here.
I am sorry to hear that everyone is leaving, but better to have them gone for a little while now, then to have them gone forever later on.
Give my regards to Mr. Sollod and all the gang.
Sincerely, Jack Lisansky
