Dear Mom
Haven’t heard from you for a few days, so figured would drop you a line. It is colder that the devil himself around here right now. Haven’t got down to zero yet, probably around 10 or 15 above, but that seems cold after England.
Got a letter from Polly the other day. She says that Paul gets kinda lame in the cold weather.
Did I tell you I got a letter from Virg the other day? Guess he wrote right after he had been home.
Well write soon, Love, John
