Dearest Mary,

I got some mail today, one v-mail and one letter from you. They are postmarked 15 & 16 Dec. I also received sept. issue

of Readers Digest and a paper from the church.

The weather has been pretty warm to-day, the sun has been shining all day, it was a little foggy this morning but

it didn’t last very long. I hope it don’t get too cold back home. You mentioned in your letter that the temp. was very near

zero. Darling, take care of yourself and don’t get any cold. Does Diana dislike cold weather as bad as you do?

I have been trying to light my cigarette lighter for a long time now- with no success. I just looked for the flint and

don’t seem to have any. Honey, I wish you would get me some if you can, they are so small that you can put them in one

of your letters.

Thanks for letting me know you received the $50 money order, I can tear up the stub now. Yes, we get rations

once every month, the last time we got 3 or 4 bars of candy. I don’t care much for candy so usually give it away.

I love you, Mary.

Your husband

Earl
