Dearest Mary,
I was just looking at the Valentines; that you and Diana sent me. 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.
