Dearest Jimmy,

Well, my mail situation has been looking a lot better recently. One letter yesterday and valentine, and another one today. My mail is certainly getting to you slowly. On Jan. 26^th you mentioned just getting letters I wrote around Christmas. Oh well, I s’pose it doesn’t matter much so long as it does get there.

I have just written to your mother. She sent me the clipping about your getting the Air medal. I was real glad to get it because we don’t take the Richmond papers - I didn’t even know about it until your mother told me.

Incidentally, the letter I had today had the poem in it. It is real sweet and certainly has our story down pat. You amaze me with all the poetic talent. You must have been keeping it from me.

You have two packages on the way now which I hope will get to you ok. One is candy which may not be in such good condition upon arrival. The other with scarf-ties. Hope you like them all right - I had a hard time locating the ties but finally found them in town. The scarf I got at our PX and it seems real nice and warm. Hope it gets there before the weather turns warm.

Will send the [candy] bars as soon as I can get them. It was raining so hard today I couldn’t get to the PX.

Well, dear one, it’s getting late so I’d better be getting my shuteye.

Miss you and love you heaps.

All my love,

Elizabeth
