Hi Honey,

I just got through eating a T-bone steak, it was fried just like I like them, well-done. Our food is

much better than it was a few weeks ago. The ration truck gets here every day, it brings our food from

Pinedale. We had chops for supper last night - very good!

I sure miss seeing you honey, guess I will just have to wait until Friday 31 as far as I know now. If

the Lt. sees fit I will see you Fri evening. He don’t care if we get a pass or not, he was in Fresno 3 days

out of 5 this week, same stuff, eh?! I sure hope we get a different C.O. before we go ashore.

You should see the snow on the mountains today, it looks as if it snowed more last night, its

much farther down the mountain than it was. Honey even at noon the wind is pretty cool up here but at

night its usually a still cold. Don’t worry honey, I sleep warm enough because we always have a fire in

our tent and its really comfortable. We use big pine cones to start our fire, they burn very easy and

make quite a lot of heat. The odor from them is pleasing too, just like perfume. Ha!

I got another shot today but it hasn’t had time to make my arm sore yet. I sure hope I don’t chill

like I did that one time. Yes! Honey! I had the M.D. to put some medicine under my arm, he said it was

some kind of rash. I’m going to have him paint my arm every-day until its gone.

I sure hope we get paid before long, I have got 36 cents. Ha!

I’m going to take a shower in a little while. There is a place about 5 mi down the road, some kind

of convenience-objectors camp. I think a nice place to go. Ha!

I work 11:00 pm to 7:00 am to-night, so I’m going to try to get some rest this afternoon.

This is all the news for now, hope to see you Fri evening.

I love you very, very, very much.

Your husband forever

Earl
