Dear De and Joe,

I am waiting for Jerry and Dick and Dar to come get their stove so will write you in the meantime. How are you getting on? Have you money to go on with? I know it goes too fast.

What kind of work are you doing and where is Joe at now? You don’t tell me anything that I would like to know.

Addie is coming Wednesday and we are going to take in a show. Thursday evening a party on Jarmette. Friday evening a party and Mrs. Markgrafs house. Next week a party at Mrs. Sparr’s. I am really getting to be a bum.

Ed and Helen or Dar haven’t been in since you left, but it doesn’t worry me in the least. But I wish I could have a good visit with you. I sure miss you a lot, but I will take it on the chin. Haven’t heard from Bud for 3 weeks. Addie is so worried. Floyd is on his way over, don’t know when.

I am working very hard. They put on a night crew again, so much work. Raymond Beane came home on a furlough.

Well dear, they are here now, so with love and kisses to you both.

I am ever,
Mother

May God bless you both. Write.

Dad wired your ration book.
