Feb. 24, 1945
My Dearest Mary,
I got quite a lot of mail today, three letters from you (also the flints), a birthday card from Bob &
Vi, and a letter from Bob. Your letters were postmarked Feb 6, 7, & 8, I didn’t notice when the box of
flints were mailed. Thanks for the flints and stationary, honey. I don’t think I will run out of flints for a
long time, do you!
We took some pictures today. I don’t know when we will get them printed. They should be
good, the sun was very bright when we took them. I’ll send them to you soon as I can, darling.
Yes, I have seen things like the clipping you sent me, I imagine that was very interesting to you.
Thanks for sending it.
I’m glad you received the money-order, I thought it should be there by this time. I’m sure glad
that we are able to save a little money, it will come in handy after the war is over. What makes you think
we wont be able to save any money after I come home? I didn’t know I was such a spend-thrift! Ha!
When and if I spend it it will be for a good cause.
No, the bronze star doesn’t carry any increase in pay, although it does count some points
toward a discharge. I don’t know just how much it is. I have received the ribbon but not the star.
Too bad about Diana getting sick, I didn’t think and orange would make any-one sick. Anyway
I’m glad that she is well again. Hope you don’t get any-more colds, darling. My cold is gone and I feel as
good as ever.
I love you with all my heart, honey
Your husband forever,
Earl
