24 February 1948

Dear Mom and Pop,

Just a few lines to let you know how I am.

Well this weekend is finally over with and we all started back into the “salt mines” today.

I won’t be home this weekend as I have the duty with the Commander on Saturday. That doesn’t happen very often. We don’t have any more security watches so I won’t have to worry about them any more. Since I’m standing duty in the office Saturday, I rate a day off, so I’m going to take Monday the 8^th off. That will give me a fairly long weekend and I won’t have to bother with all that crowd going back Sunday night.

Well I hope you are feeling much better now, and aren’t gaining more weight.

I suppose I’d better close these fun lines for now and get back to work. See you soon.

All my love,

Alfred
