To My Darling wife,
I just finished eating supper, we had corn fritters, cold pork loaf, cheese, tomatoes, bread &amp; jam,
and hot chocolate. I was very hungry tonight. I ate everything in my mess-kit. We have had good food
lately, I hope it stays this way.
I read the letter you wrote to Fiola. He’s a good pal of mine and we have been buddies for over
a year. I don’t think you ever met him. He lives in Illinois, Brookfield I think, its not very far from Chicago.
I didn’t get any mail today, hope you had better luck than I did, honey.
I love you Mary, more &amp; more each day.
Yours forever,
Earl
