My Dearest Mary,

I received a package (my birthday box) and two letters from you, and a letter from Bob. I’m very

well satisfied with my mail today, darling. Your letters were written March 16 and 21st, Bob’s the 18th.

Thanks honey, for the wonderful pictures, they are perfect! I wasn’t looking for them this soon - what a

surprise! I like your new hat darling, makes you look very well dressed. It sure makes me home-sick to

look at these pictures; I only hope that I can be home with Diana and you before long. I don’t see how

this war can last much longer. The news sounds very good today.

We had a swell supper tonight, steak, fried potatoes, green beans, spinach, apple-cobbler, and

coffee or ice water. I had a steak almost as large as my mess-kit, and I ate every bit of it. We get much

better food than we did when I first came over-seas.

Thanks for my birthday package darling, everything you sent was something that I wanted. I

opened the coffee just to see what good coffee smells like, the aroma was wonderful! I put my pipe and

tobacco in the pouch just before writing you this letter; I’m smoking it now. I’ll let you know when we

can have something to eat, I know the coffee will be very good.

We took some more pictures today, I don’t know how soon we can get them printed but I will

send them as soon as I can.

The weather is still very hot; too hot for comfort during the day. It lightninged last night but

didn’t rain any. Glad to hear you are having some spring weather. I don’t think you will have very many

more cold days now.

I hope Riley turns up OK, it may take him a long time to get back though. The country is very

rough over here, and there are not many ways to travel.

I think you look wonderful in the pictures, darling. I miss you so very very much, Mary.

I love you with all my heart.

Yours forever,

Earl

My Dearest Wife,

I hope you like this bracelet, I tried for a long time before I could find anything that I thought

you would like. I will send you something else when I find what I’m looking for.

I will send Diana’s pin a little later.

I love you very much, Mary.

Your husband,

Earl

Thanks again for the birthday package.
