Dearest Mary,
I just finished eating supper. We had deer steak smothered with onions, peas, bullion soup, bread, and coffee.
We have deer meat quite often. Have you ever tasted deer meat, I like it just as well as beef.
Today is the first day of 1945. When I started to write this letter I almost wrote 44 before I thought. If you get
any letters dated 44 don’t think anything about it, you know how I forget some things. Last night didn’t seem much like
New Years Eve. Every one in camp got paid so most of the guys spent the evening playing poker. We did have a little
surprise though. We were given 5 bottles of beer! I drank 4 of mine and finished the other one this morning. I didn’t get
paid because I signed the pay-roll in H & S Co. I suppose I will get my money about the tenth of the month. I’m not
worrying about it very much, there is no place to spend any. I will send you another money order as soon as I can.
Happy New Year darling
I love you more each day.
Your husband,
Earl
