Dear Mom,

            How is everything going by this time over here everything is about the same.  Got a letter from Mr. H. the other day.  He is up in Groton.

            Haven’t heard from Grant and Gaye lately.  In their last letter they said that they were planning on coming up for a visit.  Be nice if they could.

            Got a letter from Virg the other day.  Said he had fun home on a furlough.

            I will be kinda glad to see him again.  Haven’t seen him for over 8 years now.

                                                                                    Write soon

                                                                                                Love, John
