Sat. AM

Dearest Jane,

Received your sweet letter yesterday and was so glad to hear from you. Sure glad you’re 10k and everything is under control. Sorry to hear of your losing 6 bucks honey, gosh I wish I could have found it I would even split with you (some joke eh.)

Well its nearly Christmas I’m doing a very little and little more after pay day. Surely I’ll get paid this month. I haven’t in the last 2 so I’ll have a good one when I do. The month before last I left for home 3 days before and when I came here I wasn’t here long enough to get to sign one so maybe I’ll sign a pay roll any day now and besides that they say our bunch will leave any day now because all officers are to take over this field. They transferred me out of the post office the other day. So now I don’t know if I’ll go straight to overseas training or to school. Lately I’m kinda wondering what the score is.

I’ve also been restricted to camps on account of my throat and cold etc. Having worlds of trouble with my right eye. Was kinda blind in it for 3 days but it seems to be getting some better, just cold I guess. I hope.

I’m kinda like you said honey why should I bother you with my troubles.

The Salt Lake Air Base is nothing but hard luck for me tho. Hope I don’t go back to Kearns but 10-1 I will. Well sugar what I didn’t get to do now I can at least do after pay day and I’m not foolin you either dear. I have to get to town to buy something for the babies because they sure don’t have anything at the post PX hardly. Whatever you decided to send Bob was plenty swell enough honey. It was swell of you to make the fudge you shouldn’t have bothered kid. Guess I’ll get it pretty soon and I know it’ll be swell. Sure hope by next year we could all be together for a swell elegant time. Maybe we’ll be lucky enough for it to happen that way. Can’t let to darn much time pass before I see Cynthia. By gosh I’m really anxious to see her. Of course her little mother and all of you too for that matter. Well please tell the folks I said hello and if I don’t get to write again real soon I hope you all have a swell time x-mas and I really mean it. I will write again the first chance I get. Sure glad you hear from Cline regularly. I wrote him last night. Maybe we can write back and forth, I think it would be nice. Write me here as usual and if I move on they’ll transfer my mail for me anyway. Gotta go for now. Be sweet and careful. Lots of love
