Hello darling,

Just a line to let you know I’m still alive. I have been awfully busy tonight. I just washed my hair so writing while it dries a bit. Mom and I went out to Wards tonight to do that last minute shopping. The store was almost empty.

I don’t remember if I told you, Bernice and I planned a party out at work. Well, it’s coming off tomorrow. More work. A couple of days ago Alice said something about having to go places so often because of the cold. She said that whoever had her name should give her a baby diaper, so that’s what she’s getting. Well she will be surprised. I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow night.

Mom wants me to have a bite with her, so I’ll continue in a few minutes. Back again in less than 5 minutes. Fast work.

We are having ice cream and cake for the party. Nice, huh?

Well sweetheart, I didn’t hear from you today, but maybe tomorrow. I can dream, can’t I? I bought you a make shift razor tonight. Hope it will serve the purpose when you get it. Don’t worry, I didn’t spend a fortune. You can’t find one to spend a fortune on. How are you feeling? O.K. I hope. I suppose you are still getting shots here and again.

I suppose you have gotten both cards by now. I’ll explain. I couldn’t make up my mind which, so I sent both. Simple isn’t it? I feel in awful good spirits today. No special reason, just do. Hope you can keep up the old peper as I never fear you will. My love at home will keep you strong and yours does make me strong. I never lose you for a minute. I just tuck you in my heart and there you stay. I love you so much and I admit it’s hard being so far apart, but…

Bud we think is on his way across Africa. Although we haven’t heard from him. Alice and Hi are going to get Bernice and her clothes tomorrow night and move her in with your mother. It will make company for both of them.

You still haven’t said whether or not I should call and try to make friends with your mother. Do you write to her as often as you do me? I would like to know, especially if I intend to talk with her. I would not want to hurt her. If you can’t write her every night write as often as you can Well, I guess I’ll put my hair up and turn in for the night. 5:00 comes so early when you go to bed at 10:00. I’ll write more tomorrow.

God bless you.

Love,

DeLores
