Dearest Mary,
No mail from you today. I got a Xmas package from the Methodist Church, a letter from Bevy
and one from Neil. I think I have received about all of my Xmas boxes, I think this was my seventh one. I
needed most of the things sent to me. I have enough foot-powder to last me a life time - six cans! I have
four new tooth brushes, I need them, my old one was about worn out. I have had it almost a year.
I just finished reading my sports magazines so I’m sending them to Lambourn. He likes to read
them as well as I do so we exchange.
Do you still work at the hardware store every Fri? I can see why Walt McCord annoys you, he
talks all the time and doesn’t say anything.
How is Diana? The picture of her is very good. I wish you would send me a picture of your self.
Hope you get some mail soon.
I love you more than ever, Mary.
Your husband,
Earl
