Dearest Mary,
No mail came in today; I thought I would get some since this was the third day. Anyway, I hope I
have better luck tomorrow.
I just used the last sheet of stationary that you have been sending me, I still have a few
envelopes left though. I am going to use the box you sent me in my Xmas box next. The paper is not as
large as this.
I wrote a letter to Irsy today. He is still in the K-9 corps at Baer Field. He talked like he would be
an M.P. soon, I don’t think I would like that very well. Said his wife had been with him for 14 months. He
also wants a picture of Diana and you.
We had fresh eggs for breakfast this morning, they were sure good. Our food has been about
the same as usual. I hope we have some more steak one of these days. We had canned beef for dinner
today.
I saw a good movie last night - “And Then Tomorrow.” Allan Ladd and Loretta Young were the
actors. Alan Ladd was a doctor; an ear surgeon. Loretta Young was deaf and had been to several great
ear doctors but none of them did her any good. Ladd was experimenting with some new serum which
was supposed to bring back ones hearing. In the end the doc cured her and they were married and etc.
The weather is pretty hot today. I’m going swimming soon as I finish this letter.
Hope I get some mail tomorrow.
I love you, Mary.
Yours forever,
Earl
