Somewhere in the mountains

March 16, 1944

Hi Honey,

I’m sitting on a rock enjoying the beautiful scenery while writing you this letter. I wish you could

see how beautiful it is up here, this stream is so cold and clean that you can see the bottom almost any

place. I have seen several fish right by our tent. I saw some deer tracks just a few yds. up stream; and I

sure would like to hunt and fish some but we don’t have any equipment. There is rocks up here as big as

a house and in the cracks are little lizzards that can run like hell, you can hardly see them they go so fast.

I see two of them on a big rock running them self’s.

I shaved yesterday and boy did I have a time, this water is so cold that it just about froze my

face, but I sure felt good after I finished. I washed my feet this morn in the stream too.

It rained about all day Mon., but has stopped at the present and the temp is swell during the day

time. At night it frost; everything white and even freezes ice in some places.

I’m sorry I let my close get so dirty, I promise I won’t do it again, often I come from the mts. How

are you getting along with your new job? Don’t work too hard honey.

Mr. Bean got a pass tonight. I hope to get one tomorrow or just as soon as I can. We work 8 hr

shifts so as soon as I’m on the 7:00 am to 3:00 pm I should get a pass. It’s about 50 mi to Fresno. I must

stop honey, and eat supper.

I’m on 11:00 pm tp 7:00 am tonight

Bye darling

I love you very much.

Your husband

Earl
