Dearest Mary,

I received four letters from you today, there were V-mails, and the one with stationary and

stamps. They were dates Jan 31, Feb 1, 2, & 3. Thanks for sending the stamps and stationary, I’m using it

tonight.

I just finished eating supper, we had Vienna-sausage & cheese, boiled cabbage, green beans,

pineapple, and hot chocolate.

I haven’t missed a day writing to you in a long time honey, the letters I wrote between Jan 10

and 14 may have been lost somewhere. Maybe they are just delayed some place.

The fire at the Lumber Co. must have been pretty bad. I don’t think John Frank will mist $5,000

very much; do you? Some things may be pretty hard to replace, though.

I’ll sure be glad when the chocolate syrup gets here, I like it much better than coffee. We usually

heat some water and have something hot to drink just before going to bed. One of the boys in my tent

got a box of candy today, I ate two pieces - I don’t care much for candy.

I should have enough flints when I get the ones you just sent me, probably enough to outlast my

lighter. Tell Pat Bean thanks for me honey. I have never heard from Morris, maybe its because I haven’t

wrote to him. Ha! I just notices in you Jan 1st letter that you received the letters you were asking about,

that’s my error for not reading your letter more closely.

I like the Yardley powder swell darling, I think it the best I ever used. My face it so tanned that

powder shows up very easy.

I can’t think of anything I need right now honey, I will let you know soon as I want something.

I love you more than ever, Mary.

Your husband,

Earl
