March 14, 1944

Mary Darling,
I have not even washed my teeth or face yet and I do not think I will until my arm feels better,
oh! - we had those shots today so you know how I feel. I sure hope that I don’t chill tonight like I did the
other time. This is a beautiful place up here, there is a swell trout stream about 50 ft. from my tent. I
sure would like to have time to fish some but it don’t look like I will.
When I got up this morning the ground was as white as snow; it got pretty warm during the day
though. The food is not so good but I guess I’ll live. I don’t know when I will get to see you, I sure hope
soon. I must stop because it’s too dark to write any more.
Your husband forever,
Earl
