Mary Darling,
I got a letter from Guide today also two issues of times - no mail from you. I wrote to the Guide
several weeks ago, sending my new address. I haven’t received any of the Guide papers so I wrote to
them asking if they would send them to me. They answered with a nice letter, telling me that they were
glad to hear from me and would send the Guide paper.
The film didn’t come in today so there is no show tonight. I don’t have anything to do so will
probably play cards. That’s about the best pastime there is.
We had chili for supper tonight it was pretty good.
The weather is really hot here now.
I love you as always.
Your husband,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
You are going to be missing some letters from me. I didn’t have a chance to write to you for two
days. I can’t tell you why I couldn’t write to you darling. I hope you understand. This is the first time I
have missed writing to you in a long time.
I was sure glad to hear that you are not sick from giving some of your blood away. Be sure to
take care of yourself, and get as much rest as you can for the next few days.
Pete Hurst must have hated to go back overseas, after spending 30 days at home, I know I
would. I remember Bud Merrit, he must have seen a lot of action.
The weather has been much warmer this week. Looks like the hot weather is staring for sure,
even the nights are warm. I’m glad to hear that you are having some warm weather, I’ll bet you enjoy it
after having such a cold winter.
Thanks for sending the news clippings honey, I enjoyed reading them a lot.
Our movies are shown at a camp nearby, we usually go in trucks. I’m not going tonight because
I’m too tires.
The last mail I got was three days ago. I got two from you and one from Neel. Also the Field and
Stream you sent me. Your letters were written Feb 13 and 16th. Hope I get some mail tomorrow.
I love you as always, darling
Your husband,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
I received two V-mails today, one from you and one from Bob Ludlow. They were postmarked
March 16th. That’s the first time I have heard from Bob in several weeks. He said that he had been pretty
busy trying to get the books up to date. He also told me about Gene Richardson’s death.
I went to the movie ton-night but the projector broke, so we didn’t get to see any of the show.
Don’t seem like tomorrow is Easter Sunday. Time has passed pretty fast for me. I am going to
church - 9:30 tomorrow morning. I was just thinking about the time you came to K.C, that was around
Easter. I was sure glad to see you, you were wearing a new suit and hat. I’d give anything to see you
now, darling.
No honey, I’m not in the Fourth Air Force any more, I’m in The Tenth. Does this answer your
question?
Today was payday, some of the boys are playing poker and shooting craps tonight. I not going to
play any tonight, its too hot. Fiola and I are in his tent writing letters. We just drank a can of beer but it
didn’t seem to cool me off very much.
I’m sending you something for Easter but it will be a little late. I got something for Diana too.
Happy Easter darling.
I love you Mary.
Your husband,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
I received two V-mails from you today, they were dated March 13 and 15th. I hope I get a letter
from you soon, as you know I don’t like to get V-mails.
Lambourn and I went fish8ing this evening. We had pretty good reels but the poles were not
very good. We had a good time even if we didn’t catch any fish. He likes to fish just as well as I do - you
can imagine what the conversation is most of the time. We have planned some swell trips we are going
to take after the war is over.
I’m glad you are having some warm weather back home. I don’t think you will have very many
more cold days. It was pretty hot here today, seems to get more warmer every-day.
Too bad about Gene Richardson getting killed - this is sure a tough break for his family. They
seemed to get along very well.
I just listened to the news - I don’t see how Germany can last much longer.
I love you as always.
Your husband,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
I got two V-mails from you today, also Feb 12 issue of Times. Your letters were dated 15 and 16
Feb.
Diana must have had a good time Valentine’s Day. I didn’t think that she would remember me
giving her that old billfold!
I was just wondering why I hadn’t heard from Riley Fisler. He has a pretty good chance of getting
back if he is not killed. Hope he gets back OK.
I saw a good stage-show last night - Benny Merroff and company. They had some good dancers
and singer; no band or anything.
I love you, Mary.
Yours forever,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
I didn’t get any mail today; hope I have better luck tomorrow.
I haven’t received my birthday box yet. I know its not your fault honey, it takes a long time for
packages to get over here. Thanks for sending the Bulletin, I will enjoy reading it a lot.
I got a letter from Bob the other day but I’ve not had time to answer it yet.
I am listening to the news, it sounds pretty good tonight.
I wish you wouldn’t write any more V-mails, they are too short.
I love you, Mary.
Yours forever,
Earl

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

Dearest Mary,
I received some mail from you yesterday but I haven’t had much time to answer any of your
letters as yet. I’ll answer your letters tomorrow.
I have some gifts for Diana and you; they are pretty hard to get over here. I’ll send them to you
soon as I can find a box to pack them in.
Please notice the change in my address, I’m in Co. C now; remember the letter you addressed to
C when I was in A? I’m glad to hear that your mail is arriving sooner than it has been. I think I will get
yours a little quicker now that I’m in Co. c. I received your Easter Card yesterday, thanks very much
darling, I hope you like the one I sent you.
I must stop for tonight darling.
I love you, Mary.
Your husband,
Earl

March 28, 1944

Mary Darling,
I suppose you think I’ve been kidnaped or something, honey we moved and I haven’t had time
to even take off my close. We are we are farther up in the mountains, up where the big pines are. It’s a
lot colder up here; we are only a few thousand yards from the snow. Bass Lake is beautiful and I sure
would like to fish in it, I have seen several fish jump, also several ducks and squirrels. I don’t know how
long we will be up here, I hope not over two weeks. Mts. about 50 mi from here to Fresco; I don’t know
when I will get a pass honey, but I hope soon. Our damn Lt. won’t do anything to help us any, not even
give us a pass.
Honey I must stop because I go on duty at 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm.
Bye darling, I love you very much
Yours forever
Earl

Dearest Mary,
I received one letter from you today - postmarked March 6th. Also the Guide Light. My name was
in the Guide paper, remember I told you that I wrote them a letter not long ago.
You mentioned getting six letters from me on March 5th that’s not bad for one day. I wish I could
get six from you. I wrote a letter to Dot thanking her for her Xmas presents; it must have been lost
somewhere. I’ll write her again soon. I must write E. Painter too, I had about forgotten him. Thanks for
the reminder, honey.
If you get Millard Berry’s address I will write to him, we might even get a chance to see each
other. I didn’t know he was over here.
I just found out who sent me the book from Hodgman Sporting Goods Co. Lambourne - he sent
for one so he told them to send me one too. I was sure surprised when he told me!
The weather is sure hot today. I wish it would rain so that it would be a little cooler. Its not so
bad in the evening; I have been sleeping under one or two blankets.
All my love, Mary
Your husband,
Earl

My Darling Wife,
I got some mail today, but none from you. I got the Guide paper. I wrote to them a few weeks
ago asking for the G.M. and Guide papers, they arrived in a few days saying - I would receive the paper
soon as it was printed. I sent them my new address so I should get their paper regular now.
I’m sending you some pictures that we took not long ago; I hope you like them. Film is very hard
to get over here so I don’t get a chance to get many pictures. I must stop for tonight, darling.
I love you very, very much, Mary.
Your husband,
Earl

I just came from the movie, it was a little better than usual. John Wayne and Ann Dovark were
the leading actors. “The Man from Barbary Coast.” I think this was the name but I’m not sure. It was a
western picture but not the wild and wooly kind.
A lot of mail came in today, but not much for me, all I got was March 12th issue of the Times.
Hope I have better luck the next time.
I was just reading in the Times about the cigarette shortage back in the States, according to it
the black-market is causing all the shortage. They also said cigarettes were selling for $2.40 per carton,
that sounds like too much money for me.
We received our rations for March today, they cost 17 rupees 11 annas- We got three cartons of
cigs, eleven candy bars, six cigars, three cans of nuts, writing tablet,one can of juice, one case of beer
(Pabst) and a box of cookies. I traded my cigards for a writing tablet and my candy for fruit juice. I don’t
care much for cigars or candy. I think I have enough writing paper to last me for a while, I asked you to
send me some in yesterday’s letter, but I can always use it. It’s better to have too much than not
enough.
I just drank a can of my beer, it tastes pretty good since its cool - Goodnight darling, I love you
more each day.
Your husband
Earl
Hope I get some mail soon.

I’m a little late in writing you tonight. Special Service put on a stage show for us tonight, so I
thought I would wait until after the show to write to you. The show was pretty good, six G.I.’s dressed
up as girls danced and etc; they had a small band that was pretty good, also some singers.
No mail came in today. I should get some tomorrow or the next day. I hope I don’t go five days
without getting any mail like I did last week. Sometimes mail comes pretty fast and some times it takes
several weeks. Do you get mail more than once a week? I usually average two times a week.
You can send me some more writing paper. I have plenty of envelopes. I can’t buy any writing
paper anywhere, we very seldom get any in our rations either. I like this paper so maybe you can send
some more of it. Its much better to carry too.
I wish you wouldn’t use V-mails honey, although if you think it best there is nothing I can do. Its
OK to be patriotic but please don’t use them unless you absolutely have to. I know that you don’t like
them so I never use them unless I don’t have anything else.
There is a movie after the stage show tonight but I’m too sleepy to go, probably wont miss much
anyway.
It’s 10:00 PM so I must get to bed.
I love you more than ever, Mary
Yours forever,
Earl

Mary Dearest,
I got two letters from you today, the pocket dictionary was in one and writing paper in the
other. I was a little disappointed when I found not word from you in either of them. I looked at the dates
and found that I had received a letter from you on March 6. Thanks for the dictionary and writing paper,
I can use both of them, especially the dictionary.
We had a good dinner today - steak and onions, mashed potatoes, gravy, and pears for dessert.
We have had steak two times this week, that’s something unusual!
I went to the movie last night - “Guest in the House” Ann Baxter and Ralph Bellomy were the
leading actors. I didn’t like the story very well it was too fantastic.
Boy, are the bugs and flys bad over here, you can’t even rest during the day unless you put your
mosquito net down. I have not seen very many mosquitos. I don’t think they will be very bad until the
monsoons start.
I’m going to write Neel a letter tonight; I have received two from him in the last week.
I will stop for now, honey.
I love you with all my heart.
Your husband,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
I received two V-mails from you today - March 2 and 3. I have never received any of your mail in
less than ten days, usually they take 14 or 15. I got one letter in seven days but that was my ballot
during election time, it must have carried a high priority. I sent my wrist watch to you today, it was
broken so there was no use in me keeping it. I need a watch pretty bad. We get them once a month in
our rations but I’ve not been lucky enough to get one. You can do whatever you want to with my watch,
I don’t know if its worth fixing or not.
I have read several pocket size books, we get them through Special Services. I can’t think of any
books that you could send me, we have almost every one you could think of.
I’m going to the movie tonight, I hope its better than the last one. I don’t see why they waste
their time making some of these movies.
Yes darling, I know my spelling is not very good, I could use that dictionary almost every day.
Sometimes I spell a word and it just don’t look right; does this ever happen to you?
I forgot to tell you what Phelps had to say in his letter. He is in China in some Signal Co. He asked
about Lambourn and the rest of the boys, also said that his wife and baby were getting along O.K. He
must be working pretty hard. I got a letter from Whitaker the other day - I don’t think you knew him.
Irsy told me that E. Trafton is a P-47 pilot now, he is sending me his address soon.
You can send me some more Hershey’s choc. Syrup - although I haven’t received the first you
sent as yet. It will surely get here some time. No, I have not received the fruit cake you sent me, it must
be lost somewhere.
You asked about the half-rupee - Our cigarettes cost us two rupees a carton so you can judge
about how much a half-rupee if worth. Prices are not fixed over here like they are in the States, you
bargain for things over here.
Yes I enjoyed reading the Times, the news in it is very good. I get it regular now that it has
started. You will surely get your copy pretty soon.
The weather is warm today but not as hot as usual - looks like it might rain.
I hope the pictures are good. I will be very glad to get them. I must stop for now honey.

Hi Honey,
Maybe I will beat this letter home again I hope so but I don’t know yet. I was on the 11:00 to
7:00 yesterday and will be on the 7:00 to 3:00 so I’m going to try to get a pass. I hope you are having
swell weather like this at Fresno, I’m sitting out in the sun and its really hot. I just wrote a letter to Bob &amp;
Dad so I only have 6 more to write before I get caught up. I’ll have to wait until I get back to camp to
write the rest of them.
I just shaved in this nice cold water so I feel pretty clean now.
Two G.I.’s are trying to make up their mind to go swimming in this cold water but of now they
only have their feet wet. Ha!
Well I must stop for now.
Hope I see Wed. night - 5:30
Yours forever.
Earl

To My Dearest Wife,
No mail came in today. I still haven’t answered all of your letters honey, if I write one long letter
I don’t have much to write about during the days that I don’t get mail. It’s pretty hard to write every day,
sometimes I can’t think of anything to write about.
I sent you another “Roundup” yesterday, I hope you enjoy reading it. That makes two weeks I’ve
sent you in the last week.
The dinner sure sounds good. I mean Rays birthday. Too bad that Dad couldn’t be there, he
would have enjoyed it a lot. I only wish that I could have been there. It makes my mouth water just to
read what you had!
I imagine working at the store does break the monotony, I wish I could do the same. Doing the
same thing day-in and day-out sure gets tiresome. The work is not hard, it just gets monotonous.
Sometimes I get lonely, thinking about you; I should not say sometimes, every day and night would be
more right. I think you know what I mean, darling.
I hope you like what I’m getting your for our anniversary. I thought for a long time but couldn’t
think of anything to buy you - that is over here. Money don’t mean much to me, I never spend over 20
or 25 rupees a month and sometimes not even that much. I have been pretty lucky at poker (or did you
know that!) I’m sending you some more soon.
I love you all that’s possible, Mary.
Your husband,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
I just saw a pretty good stage show; several GI’s were dressed up as cowboys. They played
western songs, also some square-dances. One of the boys played a banjo very good, seems like I’ve seen
home somewhere before, maybe in some show back home.
My arm is a little sore tonight, we got two shots today. I think they were for typhus and cholera.
I don’t think I will ever forget the first ones I got at Ft. Ben. I felt like I had a fever for two or three days.
Just a few letters came in today. I didn’t get any mail to-day, hope I have better luck tomorrow Good-night darling.
I love you very, very, much, Mary
Yours forever,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
I received four letters from you today - two V-mails were written Feb. 23, &amp; the two letters
March 2 and 5th. I also got a letter from Neel. I think I have most of my back mail now. I’ll bet you had a
swell time reading the nine letters you mentioned getting. It’s too bad that they don’t arrive more often
though.
Darling I tried to get you something over here that is for our wedding anniversary - but couldn’t
find anything. I tried to think of something I could buy, or I mean have Bob buy; that you would like.
From the way you talk in your letter, I don’t think that I did. I only hope that you won’t be too
disappointed. Darling, I feel the same way as you so about returning to the States. Nothing would make
me more happy. It’s just something that we can’t help, at-least for now.
You mentioned receiving several letters dated in Feb, I was just wondering if you have received
a money-order for $90 in that letter, that’s the reason I’m asking. I hope it’s not lost anywhere. I still
have the stub anyway.
Thanks for sending the picture of the basketball team - I don’t know all the boys.
It’s my bed time so I will stop for tonight.
I love you with all my heart, Mary.
Your husband,
Earl

To My Darling Wife:
I didn’t receive any mail today - just a few letters came in. All the mail I’ve received in the last
few days has been old; I received mail written in March almost a week ago. Hope you are having better
luck than I am.
We had some good meals today - steak and onions for dinner and meat-loaf for supper. Onions
don’t agree with me very well but I ate some anyway. We bought some eggs today so will probably have
them some night this week.
I didn’t go the Church today but I hope to next Sunday.
I love you as always, Mary.
Yours forever,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
I got some mail today - three V-mails from you, and a letter from Whitaker, he was in my old
outfit. Two of your letters were dated Feb. 22 - the other 26th. I was sure glad to hear from you. This was
the fifth day so if I didn’t get any mail today I was going to give up hopes.
Does Diana like to play with tammy? I know they used to have several disputes over their toys.
Maybe they will get more acquainted when they get a little older.
I went to the movie last night - “The Animals Kingdom.” Jack Carson, Ann Sheridan, Jane Wayman, Alexis
Smith - I can’t think of the other actors names. It was a pretty good show, but I can’t see any connection
between the name and the show.
I just finished eating supper - we had salmon loaf, peas &amp; corn, corn bread, peaches, and coffee.
I don’t know why but I’ve not had much of an appetite lately.
Sounds like you are having more winter back home - you mentioned having rain, sleet, and
snow. You will surely have some warm weather pretty soon. The weather was warm today, although it is
a little cooler this evening.
I sent you a money order Feb. 1. You haven’t mentioned anything about it in your letter so I was
wondering if you received it. It was for $90.
I must stop for tonight, honey.
I love you very much, Mary.
Yours forever,

�Earl

Mary Dearest,
I just heard the sad news - no mail today. I don’t know what is holding it up. I hope that it is not
lost. I’ve not given up hopes yet, maybe I will get some tomorrow.
The weather is still hot. I’m going swimming in a little while. The cool water sure feels good after
being hot and sweaty all day. Is the weather still cold back home?
I’m going to write Neel tomorrow, I can’t think of anything to write about today.
I love you as always, Mary.
Your husband,
Earl

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.

Dearest Mary,
I thought for sure I would get some mail today. When none came in I was a little disappointed. I
have not been writing very long letters because I just can’t think of anything to write about. I will do
better soon as I get some mail.
The weather was hot today, although there was a breeze blowing most of the time. I still sleep
under two blankets - it usually gets pretty cool after mid-night.
How is Diana? I think about you and her every day.
I love you as always.
Your husband,
Earl

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

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

Dearest Mary,
I thought I would wait until after the mail came in, to write to you - but none came in today. I
sure hope that I get some tomorrow. Its been three days since I heard from you.
The weather is a little cooler today. It rained some last night so that’s probably the reason.
I just finished a letter to Irsy. I have two more to write, then I will be caught up.
Do you get the Times magazine? I just finished reading mine, they are pretty interesting - also
have several good war maps. I’ve not heard the news today, it will be on about 6:00. I have read all of
my Sports magazines so I don’t have anything to read right now. I sent you another “Roundup” today. Its
almost time for supper to I must stop.
I love you as always.
Your husband,
Earl

Dearest Mary,
No mail today, I should get some tomorrow or the next day. I just finished writing a letter to
Bob. He has been writing to me quite often lately. I have two more letters to write then I will be caughtup - one to Neel and one to Irsy Engleman. Irsy is a Sgt now. I was sure surprised when I read that. Some
people get all the breaks!
I’m going for a swim soon as I finish this letter. The cool water sure feels good.
Thanks for sending me the basketball scores. I see Frankton was defeated in the first game. Do
you think Anderson will win the State this year?
The rations this month cost about 20 rupees - a little over $6.00. I still have six cans of beer left, I
think I will drink that tonight after I get off duty. (about 9:00) I tried to get a wristwatch this month but
wasn’t lucky enough to get one. They get a few every month and they are raffled off.
How does Diana like the table Minnie and Willard gave her? I’m not a very good artist but I will
draw some pictures for Diana when I come home.
I love you very much, darling.
Your husband,
Earl

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.

Dearest Mary,
The only mail I today was a letter from Ray. I should hear from you tomorrow.
I went to the movie last night - “Mr Winkel Goes To War.” Edward G. Robinson played the
leading role, it was the first war story I have seen that was any good. I think Stormy Weather is the next
movie; we are having a stage show tonight, I’ll tell you about it in tomorrow’s letter.
I got Feb 12th issue of Time, yesterday. I enjoy reading Times a lot, it sure don’t take very long for
it to get here. I’ve read all of my sports magazines so I don’t have anything to read now, only Times.
I must stop for now, honey.
I love you, Mary
Your husband,
Earl
