Written at Rose's House. Sylvia has just had a long conversation with Rose about the outcome of the War. Tells Moe about meeting their Congressman and making him promise to vote against the Dies Committee and join the "Fighting 40." She asks Moe if he sent away for an absentee ballot and to get others to do so as well. Sid returned the gas ration coupon he "borrowed" from her, but remains lazy.
