Dearest Mary,
I didn’t look for any mail today, but this is one time I got surprised. I got two letters and a sports
magazine from you and a letter from Russ Harper. Your letters were dated Feb 9 and 12th.
I’m sure glad to hear that Diana is well again. Do you think her tonsils are the trouble? I think
she should have them taken out if it is.
I’ll bet you are glad the weather is warmer; the snow should be melted off soon if it stays warm.
Thanks for sending the stationary and news clippings. Mrs. Wise sent me Jims and Howard’s
addresses; she also sent my address to them. I’m going to write to Jim soon, he and I used to fish and
hunt a lot together.
I think the plan that Congressman Fulton has would be a good idea too. That would be the best
morale builder I could ask for.
I’m glad to hear that Vinnie received my letter; I’ll try and write her more often.
I think I will go to the movie tonight; the name of it is Brazil.
I hope the pictures we took are good; I will send them to you soon as we can get them printed.
God only knows when that will be!
It’s almost time to go to the show so I will stop.
All my love to you, Mary,
Yours forever,
Earl
