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. Yours forever, Earl ��tha, ids Gurrme. m a Lt dire Beda got iy Atha, te UAtin free Lithr prow iia Midnwin, otis th Bok, 0 Outten the lie nek Liudione. bases hd we fee in Finns, Fhe sie con a ; pent * tarda, 4 jt Sa onk he 3 eh 20, pnding, ol, 22023; eh t A Aue ths dott © hunt yous 22.
