Dearest Mary,
No mail came in today. I got four letters yesterday so I suppose it will be three or four days
before I get any more. I think our mail situation is a little better than it was; don’t you?
I’m going to send my wrist-watch home soon as I can find a box to pack it in. It has stopped
raining. I need a watch pretty bad but can’t find any around here. If you think my watch is worth fixing
you can have it fixed and send it back to me. I think the best place to send it would be to the Hamilton
Watch Co, you can do whatever you want to with it. Is you watch still running?
I’m glad to hear that your cold is better. The weather should be much warmer in a few weeks,
and I know that won’t make you mad. I had a little cold last week but it’s OK now. Did Diana have many
colds this winter? I don’t know whether the locket Dad gave Diana was mine or not, you can ask him, he
should know.
I’m listening to some good recording by Glen Miller and the Andrew sisters, they are sure good.
The Andrews’ were in the show I saw the other night - Hollywood Courtier.
I just opened a can of my beer and it sprayed all over me, I think it’s because they are warm. I
don’t know how cold beer would taste, I’m so used to drinking it warm, I probably couldn’t tell the
difference. Ha! I still have six cans left.
I didn’t go to the show tonight, some of the boys saw it last night and said that it was not very
good; I don’t suppose I missed very much.
Hope I get some mail tomorrow.
I love you, Mary
Yours forever,
Earl
