Dear Dad, Just got back from my leave we can have another one over Labor Day if we want to but Ive got to much to do, clothes to wash and roll, letters to write and so forth. I had a swell time in Chi, got in there about 6 P.M. Friday went to Riverview park until about 11 P.M. (I and two buddies) then looked Chi over by riding the L. around town for about two hours over the (?)oop and soforth. It sure is a sparkling town at night by the lights you see. We then went to the Y.M.C.A. got a nice room for 75c and slept till (?) A.M. Saturday morning we went to a show and after the show walked around the main part of Chi, anyway we guessed it was the main part as it was where the biggest buildings were, and none of us had ever been in Chi before we were pretty proud of the fact we never got lost. Say what is the matter with you why cant you write to me have I said something to make you mad Dad I have so many letters to write I am going to close now. Won’t be long till I get home now please let mom read this two. I will send a couple of picture post cards to. Please write
Your loving son
Kenney
