Sunday March 18, 1945
Dearest Mary,
I don’t
know why I should have forgotten-but somehow I didn’t say a word about “St.
Patrick’s Day” in last night’s letter. As you well remember, I don’t go for it
any too much anyway. I know, however, you’d be disappointed if I didn’t at
least say “Top O’ the Morning to Ye”. You know you’re my own Colleen, always
though, no matter what the day.
Gee! Bum,
if I didn’t mention the picture of the Christmas tree, I meant to. It really is
a good picture and I think your picture is especially good. I can see our
pictures on the buffet and the picture, which John gave us, stands out very
well. All those letters arrived while we were moving, and I didn’t have much of
a chance to comment on many of the things you expected me to discuss with you.
I’ve forgotten some of the questions you asked. Don’t forget to ask me again Mish
– please.
I was looking over some of my letters and found Edith’s
Christmas card. I thought you’d like to see it so I’m enclosing it with this
letter. The little boy reminds me a lot of Johnny. By the way, has Johnny been
over to visit you lately? I’ll bet he’s had plenty of fun this winter with all
the snow. You weren’t able to get the skates for him were you? They will have
to be a must for next winter. I hope I’ll be able to be there to help him the
first time he tries them out.
Sunday was
just another working day with us. I went to church this morning and again
thought of the nice times we used to have when we went to church together. No
matter how many times, we traveled the same way. It always seemed like the very
first time when we were together. Easter Sunday will be quite an important day in
Night Colleen
Wish all our love
Your F.D.
