January 27,
Dearest Hal,
I just love
to get such nice long letters from you. I am always full of good intentions but
I don’t seem to be able to write very long letters. I get so sleepy and usually
just have to give it up as a bad try.
Today I had
a particularly hard day at school because I was confronted with a new problem.
I have had many things to contend with but this is the worst I have had so far.
Two of my children have head lice. Of course I had to examine all the heads.
What a job that turned out to be. I don’t even know what I was looking for but
now I think I understand better. I sent them home but I didn’t know what to advise for getting rid of them. I have been itching ever since;
I hope it’s just the power of suggestion.
Sam is
still of a mind to take an education. He had been going for three days now. I
still don’t know how it will work out. He is crazy to go but I don’t know if he
will fit in or not. He certainly does have an awful lot to make up. If he
doesn’t make the grade it would be a disappointment to him I’m afraid.
Sara called
me tonight. She is having a bridge party for
Sara is
working at the ration board office in
Nora had a
letter from Billy. He said things were pretty quiet where he was and there was
talk of sending some of them back to rest up behind the lines. Billy doesn’t
want to rest he wants to see some action. I think he has seen enough though and
would be happy to have him in a slightly less dangerous
position for awhile.

I wish you
would drop him a line. I know it would be very much appreciated.
I hope you
come home sooner than you even hope to come. I can’t begin to tell you how I
miss you.
