Dearest Mary,
No mail came in today, I should get some tomorrow, it will be the third day. Have you been
getting much mail lately?
It has sure been hot today. I went for a swim this afternoon, also washed some of my shorts and
socks. I wash them soon as I get them dirty, then I don’t have no dirty clothes to worry about.
I just listened to the war news, sounds pretty good. 250 B-29’s bombed Tokyo and caused a fire
15 miles square. We can’t realize how large a fire that is! Maybe this war won’t last as long as some
people think - I hope! Do you listen to the news every day?
“Stormy Weather” is the movie tonight, I have seen it four times! It was a pretty good show but
not good enough to see it five times.
I wrote to Dad today. He wrote me a nice letter. I don’t see how he writes considering his nerves
and etc. He sure likes you and Diana, most of his letter was about you.
I will stop for now, honey.
I love you very much, Mary.
Your husband,
Earl
Hope I get some mail tomorrow.
