Waymire Letters February 8, 1945

Feb. 8, 1945

Burma

To My Darling wife:

I received four letters today, two from you, one with the sports magazine, once From I.

Eagleman, and one from Phelps. Your letter was dated 17 Jan. The one with the magazine was Jan 22,

that the way it usually happens, the most important letters arrive later than the others. You have been

getting quite a lot of mail; then letters and the week isn’t over yet. I hope I do that good this week. I may

have dated some of my letters wrong honey, I have a hard time remembering what day of the month it

is, the one dated Dec 2 was probably Jan 2. The letter I got from I say was sent free and it reached me

the same time your air-mail did, I sometimes wonder about the mail situation! Ha! I just wrote to I say

two days ago but it looks like I will write him another letter. He is still training dogs in the K-9 corps. I

guess he likes it O.K. Told me he was just getting ready to go on furlough I see no reason why he

shouldn’t like it. Just being in the States would satisfy me. Do you remember Eddie Trafton, he went to

school with me in K. C. I say said that he was just about to finish his pilots training. I’m going to ask for

his address.

About a month ago I had a hard time finding stationary, so that accounts for so many different

kinds. This tablet I have now was given to me by an English soldier. I still have the box you sent me for Xmas, also two or three boxes on the way so I shouldn’t run out very soon I’ll tell you the reason that I

don’t use both sides of the paper. If the censor cuts something out it don’t destroy any of the letter on

the other side. I’ll admit it would save a lot of paper to use both side, but I don’t just in case.

We had a good supper tonight, beef-steak, corn, beans, biscuits, jam, peaches, and tea. The

steak I had was tender, most of the time it’s pretty tough.

Too bad about the High School having to forfeit all of their basketball games. Looks like they

would have known better than to use the boys not eligible. Did you see any of the games?

Honey, I wish you would go to the Eastern Star meetings, I want to belong to the Masonic’ when

I get back. It would be someplace for you to go once in a while.

I saw a good G. I. stage show last night. They also had some good music and a speaker that

explained the G. I. Bill of Rights.

Happy wedding anniversary darling.

I love you with all my heart.

Yours forever,

Earl
