Celebrating VJ DAY in Houston, TX

I found this letter loose in the front of her scrapbook. 

It reads - 

Aug Fri Nite

Dear Laura,

things is still in a muddle but I hope it won't be long till this program here gets underway. 

Well I started to write you tues at work but the tension was so great all day I couldn't turn and wheel no how. took to celebrate early tues with such vim and vigor I didn't even get drunk. Gad!! I've never seen a town go so completely berserk. It was just wonderful.

(unknown) hotel is slightly off the beaten path (I like the seclusion) so I took myself down to the throbbing times square of this burg which is the intersection of Main & Texas. there my pal has his diggins in the Rice Hotel which is right smack dab at the cross roads from which spot everything  to see can be seen and what a sight. Never never will I forget the happy throng. Quite a lot of lickker flowed freely but no one was disgustingly drunk. Wonderful opportunity to study mob psychology but I wasn't that interested. Can't start to describe what all went on but I'll never forget.

I guess this will punch a big hole in the N.O. deal or is the USO still to go on? I hope so till I see you any way.

Unsigned.
