Dear Mom & Pop:

                       

I was sure glad to see Pop Sunday. I spotted him as soon as he came in the gate. The cake was swell and so was the chicken. I wish you would send me some cake or candy because we’ve just been put on restriction for a week. That means we can’t smoke, go to any shows and we can’t go to the canteen. That’s why I ask for some cake or candy this week. I told Pop whether he was going to bother sending anything or not but since were on restriction its different. The same night Pap went home I wrote to Aunt T. Lora and I told her I appreciate all that she’s done for me. Well I’ll have to close now.

                                                           

All my love,
