To My Darling Wife,

I was surprised to get some mail today, usually I get mail every three or four days. I got a

v-mail from you, a letter from Bob, and one from Neil.

Today was hotter than usual, I don’t know the exact temperature but I would say around 90

degrees - I think it was more than that out in the sun. Sounds like winter is beginning to break back

home, you said that the snow was melting. Bob said that the roads have been bad to drive on almost all

winter.

Today was pay-day; I have been playing some poker this month, so I’m sending you a money

order for $90. Let me know when you get it, honey. You can do whatever you want with the money. Do

you ever run short of money? I don’t know why I haven’t ask you this before - guess I just forgot.

I can’t tell you how I know where Riley Fesler is stationed, honey. I have not heard from him for

a very long time. I wrote to him over a month ago.

I went to the Special Service Show last night. They had some recordings, a accordion player, and

two magicians. It was not very good, but I enjoyed the music anyway. There is a movie tonight but I

won’t be able to go because I’m on duty. Lily Ponds and husband are over here, I hope I get to see them.

Won’t be long until our wedding anniversary. I only hope I can be home before our next one.

There is no use telling you how I feel, darling. This war can’t last forever, so when I do come home we

will our family more than ever.

This will reach you a little late but, Happy wedding anniversary darling, I’m thinking of you. I love

you, Mary.

Yours forever,

Earl
