Dear Thomas well here I am again. Well Naomi was up and we went over to Peggie’s and then we allwent to the market to see if we could get some peaches but they were herbal and so high so we decided to get us some all ready canned. And then Naomi drove the car home and she stayed all nite with us and dad he took her home this morning and she had fabric with her so Tom told him he was going to write you and tell you he stayed here all nite and he waved. Just laugh at Tom—yesterday was his birthday so she was showing him a good time. And then afer we had dinner here at home. Tom and I went up to see Aunt Filo and she has had another bad spell. She had more himmers you know spit of blood. She was pretty bad this time to and she looks awful bad to. Well I got two letters from you yesterday and you talked like you were ready to move again and Naomi said you said you were going to move again. The letters I got yesterday you wrote one the 16 and one the 19 of August and Naomi said you told her you thought they would be put in the army of Acpison. I think that a dirty trick if they do that to you for I think you have been over there long enough. And so many guys have not even been anyplace yet. I sure do hope you get home when your six months are up. Well write and tell us all the news. Oh yes Naomi showed us the picture you sent her of you where you had the Jap flad. This woman next door, her son sent her a Jap flad and a Jap lunch basket and a Jap fan. Well not much news. How is your finger. Be sure and take care of it and don’t let it get the head of you. And how is you cold. I hope better. Well I close for now so answer and let us know all the you can. Hope you get some mail by now. Mother and dad.
