Jan 9, 1945 Burma Dearest Mary, No mail from you today. I got a package from Mary and Robert Moore. I can use everything they sent me, I was wanting some soap to wash my clothes. I suppose you know what they sent me though. I will write them tomorrow and thank them for the package. Today was beautiful, the sun was out all day, and very warm. I had my shirt off all day; you can get a tan very easy over here. The nights are pretty cool, I wear a wool under-shirt under my shirt. I sleep under three blankets and then sometimes I get cold. I think it’s because it’s so damp here. I was going to write to Willard Perry and thank them for the Xmas card but I don’t know their address. Their card was mailed from Anderson. It’s about time for the movies to start so I will stop. I love you darling.

We had deer steak smothered with onions, peas, bullion soup, bread, and coffee. We have deer meat quite often. Have you ever tasted deer meat, I like it just as well as beef. Today is the first day of 1945. When I started to write this letter I almost wrote 44 before I thought. If you get any letters dated 44 don’t think anything about it, you know how I forget some things. Last night didn’t seem much like New Years Eve. Every one in camp got paid so most of the guys spent the evening playing poker. We did have a little surprise though. We were given 5 bottles of beer! I drank 4 of mine and finished the other one this morning. I didn’t get paid because I signed the pay-roll in H & S Co. I suppose I will get my money about the tenth of the month. I’m not worrying about it very much, there is no place to spend any. I will send you another money order as soon as I can. Happy New Year darling I love you more each day.

Jan. 8, 1945 Burma Mary Darling, I got some more mail today, a letter from you and Xmas car from Vinnie. Your letter was postmarked Dec. 19. I have not wrote to Vinnie for several months so I must write to her soon. I owe Hutch a letter too. Too bad you didn’t look at deRoamans store for Diana’s overshoes, before you went to Anderson. You wont have to carry her when you go out now. I was going to ask you what you bought her for Xmas but according to this letter you haven’t done your Christmas shopping yet. Seems odd for me to be writing about Xmas now that Jan is here. You haven’t received some of my letters yet because I got my pipe and the magazine you sent me a long time ago. Yes, I’m going to write Earl Painter and thank him for the pipe. We got our months (Dec.) rations last night, twelve cans of beer and three cartons of cigarettes. We didn’t get any candy, maybe we will get some later in the month. I don’t care much for candy any way. I saw Lambourn the other day, he and I talked about our usual thing, hunting and fishing. He said that his wife and baby are getting along fine. He is in a different company but I see him once in a while. I think cigarettes are getting scares every where, we don’t get as many as we used to. Now that I have a pipe I get along O.K. Pipe tobacco is not very hard to get. What made you think that I thought you were smoking? Ha! You can smoke if you want to, I don’t think I even said anything about you smoking. I had to laugh when you said, “I have not been smoking sweety.” I sent my clothes to the laundry to-day, it didn’t take them very long to wash them. I got them back about noon, they were wet but I hung them out in the sun to day. Before the rain there was so much dust around here that you couldn’t keep anything clean. My friend, Fiola was kidding me about writing to you, I told him he wasn’t game to write to you. He is very bashful. He is a good friend of mine, & we have been together a long time. I told him that you would answer his letter but he didn’t believe me! I love you, darling.

It sure seemed good to hear from you after receiving no mail for four days. Your letters were dated 15 & 15 Dec. The pictures you sent were very good, I’m going to try to buy a folder to put them in. Diana has grown a lot since I saw her last, she looks much taller. How much does she weigh? The next time you get some film, take some pictures of your self. You received quite a lot of mail Dec. 12. I forgot to tell you I sent you the paper. Did you enjoy reading it? The Xmas cards were not very good, but I had to send them or nothing. Thanks for telling me you got the money order, I can tear up the stub now. You can do what you want with the money, darling. I have not played any poker for a long time, not many of the boys play in my tent. I got paid today so will try and get a money order sometime this month. I must stop and go to work now.

I did get the Xmas cards Jan 2. Though. They were from Mrs. Herbert Wise, Mr. & Mrs. Willard Perry and Bob and Vi. I have enough letters to write to keep me busy for several days. I’m writing this before the mail comes in because I don’t always have light to write by at night, our mail usually come at that time. I hope one of my Xmas packages comes in soon. They will surely get here sometime this month. Several of the boys have not received their Xmas packages yet. One of the boys in my tent purchased a big white duck somewhere this morning so we are going to cook him some time to-day. He tied to our tent with a small cord and seems to be very content to sit there and look around; little does he know what’s going to happen! Bye darling. I love you very much, Mary.

You must have had a good time at Mrs. Harry Blakes shower, I’ll bet it seemed good to meet some of your old school pals again. I don’t believe I know the Hester girl; too bad about her husband being missing in action. I suppose you had some good food; although you didn’t mention anything except cake. How did Diana like it? Thanks for sending I. Engleman’s address, I will write to him tomorrow. He is sure lucky to stay in the States all this time. The last time I heard from him was when we were in Fresno; looks like he will be there for the duration. Is his wife staying with him? I thought I told you about voting; maybe I didn’t. The ballots were sent to us, mine was from the county clerks office - C.C. Horrald. I have received about all of my Xmas boxes honey, I enjoyed getting them even if they were a little late, mine were not the only ones that were late, I still haven’t received Ray’s yet. He told me in todays letter that he and Anita sent me one. I’m glad you finally got some mail. It was wonderful to get all the letters today. I have about five letters to write but I’m not going to write them all tonight. I never heard of the Riggs fellow you mentioned in your letter, he could be anywhere over here.

Your letters mean everything to me darling. The two I got today were dated Jan 2 & 3, the first ones written in 45. The weather is very warm today, almost too hot to be out in the sun without a shirt. I have a good tan from my waist up. I’m going to make me a pair of shorts out of an old pair of pants, that’s the only way to keep cool during this hot weather. The fly’s are pretty bad over here, they hang on just like leeches. I’ve not seen a mosquito for a long time, I think its too cool at night for them. I take atabrine pills every day, I have no desire to have malaria. I had a good dinner today - spam, peas, macaroni, pineapple pie, and chocolate drink. I like spam better than most of the canned meats, some of them I never liked very well. I’m going to the movie tonight, I hope its better than the last one. They haven’t been very good lately. Yes, I remember the morning I left for Ft. Ben. I think that’s one I will never forget. Little did I think then about being over here. My writing is not very good honey, I will print my address so that you can read it. Ha! I mentioned it in another letter. Hope you have a good time at Mrs. Harry Blakes shower, write me about it. I love you, Mary Your husband, Earl Thanks for the news clipping about Howard and Jim Wise. ���� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jan 23, 1945 Burma Dearest Mary, I finally got some mail today, a letter from the Methodist Preacher. I had hoped of hearing from you but soon as I saw the large envelope, I knew it wasn’t from you. This is the fifth day - and still no mail, it must be delayed somewhere. The letter I got today was postmarked Jan 5. We had a pretty good supper tonight; beef, brown gravy, boiled cabbage, green beans, cake, dessert, and tea. I’ve had a good appetite for several months and have been eating everything in my mess kit. I think I have gained a little more weight. How have you been feeling? Darling please take care of yourself. I can’t think of much to write about honey, I’ll do better soon as I get some mail. I love you with all my heart, Mary.

I have four new tooth brushes, I need them, my old one was about worn out. I have had it almost a year. I just finished reading my sports magazines so I’m sending them to Lambourn. He likes to read them as well as I do so we exchange. Do you still work at the hardware store every Fri? I can see why Walt McCord annoys you, he talks all the time and doesn’t say anything.

I wish you could see how beautiful it is up here, this stream is so cold and clean that you can see the bottom almost any place. I have seen several fish right by our tent. I saw some deer tracks just a few yds. upstream; and I sure would like to hunt and fish some but we don’t have any equipment. There is rocks up here as big as a house and in the cracks are little lizard’s that can run like hell, you can hardly see them they go so fast. I see two of them on a big rock running them self’s. I shaved yesterday and boy did I have a time, this water is so cold that it just about froze my face, but I sure felt good after I finished. I washed my feet this morn in the stream too. It rained about all day Mon., but has stopped at the present and the temp is swell during the day time. At night it frost; everything white and even freezes ice in some places. I’m sorry I let my close get so dirty, I promise I won’t do it again; often I come from the mts. How are you getting along with your new job? Don’t work too hard honey. Mr. Bean got a pass tonight. I hope to get one tomorrow or just as soon as I can. We work 8 hr. shifts so as soon as I’m on the 7:00 am to 3:00 pm I should get a pass. It’s about 50 mi to Fresno. I must stop honey, and eat supper. I’m on 11:00 pm to 7:00 am tonight Bye darling I love you very much.

I have not had any pop-corn since I left the states. How is Diana? I was just looking at the pictures you sent me. She looks much taller since I last saw her. Send me some more pictures when you can. I wish you would send some of yourself. I suppose film is pretty hard to get thought. I think there is going to be a movie tonight, so I’m going - about 8:00. I love you more each day, darling.

Jan. 10, 1945 Burma My Dearest Wife, I didn’t do very much today. I worked until noon, but was not very busy. I washed my field jacket this afternoon with the soap I got in my Xmas box from M. Moore. My jacket is clean but not dry yet, so I won’t be able to wear it tonight. I’m going to the movie tonight, I saw “Best Foot Forward” last night, I think that’s the third time. The only reason I went was to hear H. James band, he played some very good jive. I got a letter from you today dated Dec. 11. I wish out mail would get straightened out. The snow you mentioned in the letter sounds just like Indiana’s winter. I suppose you are tired of snow and cold weather. I don’t realize that this is Jan, all the days are pretty warm.

I think I will go to the movie tonight, I’ve not been to one for two or three nights. The Princess and the Pirate was the best one I’ve seen for a long time. How is the weather back home?

Eagleman, and one from Phelps. Your letter was dated 17 Jan. The one with the magazine was Jan 22, that the way it usually happens, the most important letters arrive later than the others. You have been getting quite a lot of mail; then letters and the week isn’t over yet. I hope I do that good this week. I may have dated some of my letters wrong honey, I have a hard time remembering what day of the month it is, the one dated Dec 2 was probably Jan 2. The letter I got from I say was sent free and it reached me the same time your air-mail did, I sometimes wonder about the mail situation! Ha! I just wrote to I say two days ago but it looks like I will write him another letter. He is still training dogs in the K-9 corps. I guess he likes it O.K. Told me he was just getting ready to go on furlough I see no reason why he shouldn’t like it. Just being in the States would satisfy me. Do you remember Eddie Trafton, he went to school with me in K. C. I say said that he was just about to finish his pilots training. I’m going to ask for his address. About a month ago I had a hard time finding stationary, so that accounts for so many different kinds. This tablet I have now was given to me by an English soldier. I still have the box you sent me for Xmas, also two or three boxes on the way so I shouldn’t run out very soon I’ll tell you the reason that I don’t use both sides of the paper. If the censor cuts something out it don’t destroy any of the letter on the other side. I’ll admit it would save a lot of paper to use both side, but I don’t just in case. We had a good supper tonight, beef-steak, corn, beans, biscuits, jam, peaches, and tea. The steak I had was tender, most of the time it’s pretty tough. Too bad about the High School having to forfeit all of their basketball games. Looks like they would have known better than to use the boys not eligible. Did you see any of the games? Honey, I wish you would go to the Eastern Star meetings, I want to belong to the Masonic’ when I get back. It would be someplace for you to go once in a while. I saw a good G. I. stage show last night. They also had some good music and a speaker that explained the G. I. Bill of Rights. Happy wedding anniversary darling. I love you with all my heart.

One of the boys in my tent bought two dozen fresh eggs from the natives so we had another supper. How much is eggs back home? We paid seven rupees for two dozen, that’s about $2.10 U.S. money. That’s the first fresh eggs I’ve had since I’ve been overseas. I hope that we can get some more sometime. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary.

Do you think her tonsils are the trouble? I think she should have them taken out if it is. I’ll bet you are glad the weather is warmer; the snow should be melted off soon if it stays warm. Thanks for sending the stationary and news clippings. Mrs. Wise sent me Jims and Howard’s addresses; she also sent my address to them. I’m going to write to Jim soon, he and I used to fish and hunt a lot together. I think the plan that Congressman Fulton has would be a good idea too.

I don’t look for any until the 27th, that’s the way it usually arrives. You have sure had a lot of snow this winter. The ground must have been covered about all winter.

I started using the new stationary you sent me the other day. It’s pretty hard to write on because of the creases. I’m not a very good writer but I think you can read it anyway. I was going to church this morning but I forgot about it being Sun. I never know the day of the week any more. They are building a Red Cross here. It will be several weeks before it’s finished, they just started about a week ago. I’ll be glad when they get it finished; there is no place to go around here. About the only enjoyment we have is the movie and a stage show once in a while. Take care of yourself darling. I love you all that’s possible, Mary. Your husband, Earl P.S.

Your letters were postmarked Feb 6, 7, & 8, I didn’t notice when the box of flints were mailed. Thanks for the flints and stationary, honey. I don’t think I will run out of flints for a long time, do you! We took some pictures today. I don’t know when we will get them printed. They should be good, the sun was very bright when we took them. I’ll send them to you soon as I can, darling. Yes, I have seen things like the clipping you sent me, I imagine that was very interesting to you. Thanks for sending it. I’m glad you received the money-order, I thought it should be there by this time. I’m sure glad that we are able to save a little money, it will come in handy after the war is over. What makes you think we wont be able to save any money after I come home? I didn’t know I was such a spend-thrift! Ha! When and if I spend it it will be for a good cause. No, the bronze star doesn’t carry any increase in pay, although it does count some points toward a discharge. I don’t know just how much it is. I have received the ribbon but not the star. Too bad about Diana getting sick, I didn’t think and orange would make any-one sick. Anyway I’m glad that she is well again. Hope you don’t get any-more colds, darling. My cold is gone and I feel as good as ever. I love you with all my heart, honey Your husband forever, Earl �Ebi, nie abies aol tL dag af flict tay eh thd poe ch Pe ol Katee, tong S tek like J Bean St oe gat ed F a Wa a thy hkl be geet, eptng tL tlie uschin ase Rete liSO as ee a ge Se tee a inact sor, oh *, Bid Meal ce sa a D pet 32 GK th tae Ee yaa re Sh sows: �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It’s only been two days since I got some so I don’t look for any for a few days. Are you getting much mail? I’m going to write to Dad tonight or tomorrow, I’ve not wrote to him this week. I should be getting a letter from Irsy pretty soon, he said that he was going on furlough so maybe that’s the reason I have not heard from him. He is sure a lucky guy to get to stay in the States this long. Won’t be long until my birthday; next Sun, I hope my package gets here by then. I sure hope that I can be home by this time next year. The war news sounds good. Now that they have a base within bombing range of Tokyo. One of the boys in my tent got some film the other day, so I may have some pictures to send you pretty soon. One of the boys in our company is from Alexandria, Ind, I talked to him the other day and he said that he knew Vi and her brothers& sisters. I can’t think of him name, but soon as I find out I’m going to ask Vi if she knows him. I went to the show last night - “Sunday Dinner for a Soldier.” Ann Baxter and John Hodiac were the actors. Tell Diana, hello. I love you with all my heart, darling.

Thanks honey. Your letter was written Feb 3. Lambourn sent me a sports magazine but I had one just like it, so I won’t have anything to read for a while. I’m writing this before supper today, because I’m going to the show tonight. I don’t know what’s playing but I will tell you in tomorrow’s letter. We had a good dinner today; beef-steak, corn, beans, pudding, and lime-aide. How does Diana like her new snowsuit? Looks like Clifford Gooding is trying to stay out of the army, I don’t know what other reason for him moving to a farm, do you? It may be more quiet with them gone. Hope you can take some good pictures not that you have some film.

I got four letters yesterday so I suppose it will be three or four days before I get any more. I think our mail situation is a little better than it was; don’t you? I’m going to send my wrist-watch home soon as I can find a box to pack it in. It has stopped raining. I need a watch pretty bad but can’t find any around here. If you think my watch is worth fixing you can have it fixed and send it back to me. I think the best place to send it would be to the Hamilton Watch Co, you can do whatever you want to with it. Is you watch still running? I’m glad to hear that your cold is better. The weather should be much warmer in a few weeks, and I know that won’t make you mad. I had a little cold last week but it’s OK now. Did Diana have many colds this winter? I don’t know whether the locket Dad gave Diana was mine or not, you can ask him, he should know. I’m listening to some good recording by Glen Miller and the Andrew sisters, they are sure good. The Andrews’ were in the show I saw the other night - Hollywood Courtier. I just opened a can of my beer and it sprayed all over me, I think it’s because they are warm. I don’t know how cold beer would taste, I’m so used to drinking it warm, I probably couldn’t tell the difference. Ha! I still have six cans left. I didn’t go to the show tonight, some of the boys saw it last night and said that it was not very good; I don’t suppose I missed very much. Hope I get some mail tomorrow.

Its getting lighter now so the sun will probably come out any minute. I just finished eating dinner, we had beef, green beans, potatoes, bread & jam, and pineapple for desert. I went to the show last night, it was about football. “Switch of Minnesota.” He was All-American in 42 & 43. The show was not very good, there was no story and no good actors. I would like to see a good musical. The mail hasn’t came in yet so I can’t report on that. I got some mail the last two days, & I hope I get some today. Have you been getting any mail?

They were dates Jan 31, Feb 1, 2, & 3. Thanks for sending the stamps and stationary, I’m using it tonight. I just finished eating supper, we had Vienna-sausage & cheese, boiled cabbage, green beans, pineapple, and hot chocolate. I haven’t missed a day writing to you in a long time honey, the letters I wrote between Jan 10 and 14 may have been lost somewhere. Maybe they are just delayed some place. The fire at the Lumber Co. must have been pretty bad. I don’t think John Frank will mist $5,000 very much; do you? Some things may be pretty hard to replace, though. I’ll sure be glad when the chocolate syrup gets here, I like it much better than coffee. We usually heat some water and have something hot to drink just before going to bed. One of the boys in my tent got a box of candy today, I ate two pieces - I don’t care much for candy. I should have enough flints when I get the ones you just sent me, probably enough to outlast my lighter. Tell Pat Bean thanks for me honey. I have never heard from Morris, maybe its because I haven’t wrote to him. Ha! I just notices in you Jan 1st letter that you received the letters you were asking about, that’s my error for not reading your letter more closely. I like the Yardley powder swell darling, I think it the best I ever used. My face it so tanned that powder shows up very easy. I can’t think of anything I need right now honey, I will let you know soon as I want something. I love you more than ever, Mary.

I know how it is to go six days without getting any mail. Soon as I get a chance I’m going to send my wrist-watch home. It has been broken for a long time and if I keep it I might lose it. Sometimes we get watches in our rations, this month there were five but I wasn’t lucky enough to get one. They cost 55 rupees. According to your letters the weather is pretty cold back home. I wish I could send some of this sunshine back to you. It won’t be very long until you should be having some warm weather. Please take care of yourself and Diana, and don’t get any colds. Honey, the cookies Alice sent me were packed very well, they were not very stale, the lard that was in them was a little strong but that didn’t hurt them much. We ate all of them in two days so you can see they were not too bad. I must stop for now honey.

The chili was pretty good; it had a little too much pepper in it so I suppose I will be drinking a lot of water tonight. I just drank a can of beer so that will quench my thirst for a while. I was off duty this afternoon so I read a book, them played some horse shoe. I like to read once in a while, but can’t always find a book that interests me. We have several Perry Mason mysteries but I soon get tired of them. I read a wester, “Destry Rides Again,” written by Max Brand. I think I’ll read Ernie Pyles’, “Here Is Your War” next. Have you been reading many books lately? I know you used to like to read, I just wondered if you still do. By the way - How do you like the book on dice and poker? I went to a movie last night - “Hollywood Canteen.” It had a lot of good actors, and most of them were from Warner Bros. The last three shows we have had have been pretty good. How is the weather back home? You should be having a few warm days pretty soon. I don’t suppose that will make you mad! Ha! I suppose by now you have given a pint of your blood to the Blood Bank. Please take care of yourself, honey. I love you Mary, more and more each day. Yours forever, Earl P.S.

Please take care of yourself; if you are going to donate a pint of you blood. I hope you get along OK, darling. Honey, be sure and have you teeth fixed soon as you feel good enough. I don’t think I’d have let you done it if I had been home, but since I’m a long ways from home I cant help myself. I laughed when you told me you were reading a book about dice and cards. Yes, I think you can learn quite a lot from that book, just don’t forget any of it, then when I come home you can try your luck. Pay special attention to any part that deals with “strip-poker,” I think you know what I mean! I don’t know where you can get a map of Burma, you might look in some of the National Geographic Magazines, Ray takes it so ask him the next time you see him. Yes, I see a lot of natives, I don’t know how many different tribes there are. There are so many different tribes, casts, and religions. I can tell the difference between a few of them, others I can’t. Yes, I have a mosquito net and use it every night. They are not so bad now but will be later in the summer. Thanks for the flints, honey. I love you all that’s possible.

Candy, peanuts, one case of beer, cookies, cigars, cigarettes 1 ½ carton, ten packs of gum, three cans of fruit-juice, and a carton of matches. This cost twenty rupees, that’s not too bad! No mail came in today. I’ve been getting a lot of mail the last few days, I hope it keeps coming. It’s almost my bed time, so I will stop. I love you very much, Mary.

It had Spam, Kraft cheese, baked beans, canned ham, tea bags, foot powder, and a can of chili sauce. It must have been from someone on a farm because it was wrapped in a sack that hog feed supplement comes in. Do you know who sent it? If you know please tell me so I can thank them.

You are quite the artist! Diana must like the crayons, from the looks of the pictures. Today has been pretty warm, and not much wind blowing. I went swimming this afternoon, the water was a little warmer than usual. I wrote to Minnie today thanking her for the Christmas package. I didn’t know that she was sending me one. I think this one makes the ninth or tenth one I’ve received. Here’s a joke I just read: A newly created father received the glad tidings in a telegram: “Hazel gave birth to a little girl this morning; both doing well.” On the message was a sticker reading: “When you want a boy, call Western Union.” Thought you might like it. Yes, Jan. 21 was the day I left for Ft. Ben. That’s one date I won’t forget darling. I was on K. P. that day Russ and Wanita brought you down. Didn’t we take some pictures that day? I long for the day I’ll be going back there, only this time to get my discharge. How is Russ and Wanita getting along? You haven’t said anything about them lately so I suppose everything is O. K. No mail came in today. It will be two or three day’s yet before we get any. Its about 8:30 so I will stop for tonight. I love you more each day, darling. Yours forever, Earl P.S Here’s a half rupee, I will send you some more different coins soon as I get some. ���� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Four letters & a Valentine from Diana & you, a letter from Bob, a Xmas box from Minnie; also the Outdoor Indiana. Thanks for sending me the flints darling, I have nine now so that should last me for a long time. Bob sent me a package of flints in his letter. Minnie sent me some candy, pecans, soap, pop-corn, stationary, cards, and a book of jokes. I will write to her tomorrow, thanking her for the package. Your letters were dated Jan 18, 20, 22, & 23; the Valentines Jan. 22. I’m sorry that I couldn’t send you and Diana Valentines. I think Diana looks and acts a lot like my Mother too. Mrs Day was right when she mentioned Mother as being a “busy-body,” she worked practily all the time. The supper you had at Minnie’s sounded very good; I think anything she cooks is good. How are Jane and John getting along? Do you hear from her often? I often wondered what John’s rating was, I don’t think you ever mentioned it before. I wish our old Detachment hadn’t broken up, we might have gotten a better rating by now. About that card that you sent in your letter. I don’t know if Dr. Hesse’s formula would help me much or not. Ha! I’d much rather see you about that subject. Maybe I should as your opinion as to the subject. You can’t feel any worse that I do! I hope this war stops soon, I can’t write the way I feel. Any way, I got a big kick out of the card. Don’t seem like this is the third wedding anniversary I have spent in the army. I only hope that I will be home before the next one. Several of your questions are pretty hard to answer, about all I can say is yes to most of them. If you can remember what you asked, you should know the answers. Honey, the 1877 Engrs is a Br, and belongs to a regiment. I don’t know whether you will understand this or not but it’s the best way I can explain it. If you can find some book about the army, read it, it will explain this better than I can. The duck we cooked a few weeks ago was pretty good. We fried it in canned butter. The only food that we have cooked lately was the eggs that I told you about. I hope the chocolate syrup gets here O.K. Thanks for sending everything, darling. This stationary is about used up so you can expect another kind soon. I’m going to use what you sent me for Xmas next. I love you all that’s possible, darling.

The eggs sure taste good, I hope we can get some more of them soon. It is raining out now, but it don’t look like its going to last very long. How cold is it back home? I’m listening to some Glen Miller recordings on the radio. I read in the news that they have given-up all hopes of finding him, he has been missing since Dec. I wonder if his band will stay together?
