Dearest Pheety,

Well I haven’t heard from you for two days now but I’ll keep writing and expecting to hear from you soon.

I don’t know what’s up but this outfit has cancelled all passes and furloughs. I hear we’re going to be alerted soon and maybe that means we’ll be going home next month- wouldn’t that be great.

By the way have you noticed my clothes lately, are they good enough to wear again? You never told me if you ever put them in moth proof bags or not. I hope so or they won’t be worth wearing. Did you take care of my things when your mother moved to town?

I saw the movie “Son of Lassie” the other night and it reminded me of Gypsy. Do you still have her, if you have I would sure like to have a picture of you and her together.

Isn’t Clark home yet, he’s certainly been in they army a long time and I think he should be getting home soon.

What is Peg doing, is she still home? Please tell your mother and the girls I send my best wishes. I wrote your mother a letter a while back but never got an answer.

Are you folks ready to take a beating in a few games of rum when I get back?

Do you see much of the same old crowd around the Haffrau these days? I suppose you’re in there quite regular. I said that as if it didn’t make much difference to me but it does. Margaret you ought to realize why I don’t like it. Those kind of places are where a man always goes to pick something up. Any woman who respects herself will never go in a place like that alone, I don’t care how nice the joint is. You should well understand what happened from your experience in Springfield. If it has turned out to be a lesson to you then I believe I can always depend on you. But I’ll be patient til I hear from you just what the whole score is. Be a good little wife and always remember I’m thinking of you everyday.

Love and kisses,

Your Dumplin
