Dear Dot and Dana,
I feel
pretty good today as I got two letters this morning one from you and one from
Dana (postmarked July 1st).
There must
be quite a few on the way with three-cent stamps on them. Please send the rest
airmail.
I
understand by the letters that you are working in the mill. Well darling, that
is nice that you can earn a little money, you sure can use it.
I got paid
yesterday, forty dollars. I am sending you $20.00 in this letter to help out on
the tax bills. There won’t be any need of you ever sending me any money. Cause,
I have been on liberty just twice since I left
No Dot, I
haven’t been swimming since I left
If you
haven’t sent that box yet, please don’t waste your money ending one.
I can buy
candy and everything I need here on the Base. I appreciate your thoughtfulness
dear, but I know you need the money.
I sure
would like to see you Dana with your rabbits. I’ll bet you have a lot of fun
with them. And I thought you did awfully well writing your letter.
Be a good
boy and I hope Daddy can come home pretty soon to see you and Dottie.
Well dear,
I hope you get this letter and the money order all right. Hope I get a letter
again tomorrow.
Love
and Kisses,
