Dearest Mother & Dad:<\/p>\n
Your letter of Sunday addressed to me at Meade was most welcome, Mother. I tell you, honey, you’re pure quality and I know I can always bet on you when the chips are down. You and Dad don’t need to worry about me as I can surely look after myself. As I told you once you can look out for Louise & the baby tho. Louise will do a lot of sitting at home by herself for the duration so you all keep her doing something.<\/p>\n
Im doing fine here. I was lucky to be put on as temporary company clerk so I’ve had a good job so far. If I have any chances to keep the job permanently I’d like to do it. It’s very interesting work.<\/p>\n
I haven’t written Macey yet but tell him that I will write him soon. I haven’t written Rip in a long time mainly because I haven’t had any V-Mail stationery but that’s no excuse as there is plenty of it around.<\/p>\n
As you all know, I’m under strict censorship now so don’t expect me to talk much about myself. I am well and reasonably happy but that’s about all I can say about myself or what I’m doing.<\/p>\n
The best thing we can do is pray that we can get the war over in a hurry & get home.<\/p>\n
Dad, don’t work too hard. Money isn’t everything. You surely learn that in the army.<\/p>\n
You all take care of yourselves and don’t worry about me. I had good training at home & in the Army so I’ll be all right. I sorta like my parents & I’m coming home when the war is over. So don’t worry. Just write.<\/p>\n
Love always<\/p>\n
