Dear Mom.
Got your letter the other day. Sory not to have written you more often, but I have written two or three letters that you haven’t received yet.
The weather over here is getting a little colder now. The natives around here say that they get about six inches of snow in the winter.
Did I tell you that I flew over here by plane? It was the first time I ever flew. Don’t think I am too crazy about it.
Got a letter from Bernice the other day. They are all kicking around as usual.
Saw a movie last night Abbot and Costello in “Hit the Ice”—pretty good.
Well guess I have told about all the news, so will close. Write soon,
Love, John.
