My Dearest Wife,
I got some mail today - two V-mails from you and a little book from Hodgeman’s Sporting-goods
Co.
I don’t know who had the book sent to me, did you? It’s very interesting and tells all about how
to fish and hunt. Your letters were written Jan 29 & 30. I hope that you get some mail soon darling. I
know how it is to go six days without getting any mail.
Soon as I get a chance I’m going to send my wrist-watch home. It has been broken for a long
time and if I keep it I might lose it. Sometimes we get watches in our rations, this month there were five
but I wasn’t lucky enough to get one. They cost 55 rupees.
According to your letters the weather is pretty cold back home. I wish I could send some of this
sunshine back to you. It won’t be very long until you should be having some warm weather. Please take
care of yourself and Diana, and don’t get any colds.
Honey, the cookies Alice sent me were packed very well, they were not very stale, the lard that
was in them was a little strong but that didn’t hurt them much. We ate all of them in two days so you
can see they were not too bad.
I must stop for now honey.
I love you very much darling
Your husband,
Earl
