Dear Johnnie: Your letter just came in that tells me about your efforts to get in a little golf practice.1 I have immediately gathered up for dispatch by the air forces a whole bunch of appliances that are designed to help you practice golf in a limited space.
For example, there are a dozen hollow plastic balls. You are supposed to be able to hit these as hard as you want and they will go only a few yards. There are others that are spiked down to the ground by ropes--and, in fact, too many kinds to describe.2
In addition, I am sending a dozen good balls and a number five iron. I hope you have some fun with them. All of us here are fine. Mamie and I send love. As ever
