Mary Darling:
Today was warm and clear, just enough breeze was blowing to make it comfortable. I went
down to the creek to take a bath today; the water was pretty cold and I didn’t stay in very long. I usually
wash my hair two times a week but I think I’m going to stop because it’s getting too dry. The water is so
hard that you can hardly wash the soap off.
We had chili for supper, also hot biscuits, peas, fruit, and coffee. We can’t always get bread so
we have biscuits two or three times a week.
No mail came in today. I got mail three days straight this week, that’s much better than average.
Are you getting any mail? I hope so, darling.
I’m not going to the show tonight, the last few haven’t been very good.
All my love to you, darling.
Your husband,
Earl
