1943 Letter from Chi Phi Fraternity Member Re: Univ Of Alabama (Transcribed)

Dear Jen, this morning, we took a Greyhound bus in a few hours we landed at Tuscaloosa, home of the University of Alabama. This is the prettiest place I have seen in a long time. If I used all the adjectives that are necessary to describe it, I would have to write a book. the buildings are nice, the offices are nice, our fraternity house is nice, the boys here are nice, and (ahem) the co-eds are nice. You don't need a pass to go to town either. You just walk right out for a few blocks. There is no K.P. here, it is all taken care of by colored women, and the food is serumptious. I can't describe the mess hall. I nearly fainted when I saw it. It just can't be compared to with the mess hall at Sibert?. I would like to explore the place so I'll cut this letter short before it gets too late. For more description of the place see the letter I wrote to mama In the future it will probably be hard for me to write separate letters to everyone so you'll have to get most of your information from mama's letters unless you just want me to drop short notes. So long for now, I'll write to you again as soon as I can. Your loving brother, Maurices P.S. In case the return address is not legible, here it is: Company C Chi Phi House S.C.V.
