Dear De,

Got your letter and your allotment came making it to you also. Dad sent the books to you registered it he has the receipt for it didn’t you get it. They were sent last Monday. I am sure you have them by now.

I had to work 9 hours today and feel pretty spent but ok otherwise. Dar didn’t come Sunday the yes man said no so we took in a show. Your dress is beautiful. Do you want me to send it to you? How is Joe? Had a letter from Bud and Dad got one too. He asked Dad to give Mother a big hug and kisses for him, isn’t that wonderful? He also stated that he is glad that Addie and you aren’t angry at each other.

Mr. Warthern went to Alaska. She and the kids are taking care of the land. We are going to put in some spuds and corn so we can feed you when you come springing on Ma. always welcome remember that won’t you dear.

I miss you more than words can tell. Well you little stink urid this all for this time. Love to you and Joe.

as ever,

Mother
