Dear Johnnie:

It’s been a long time since I heard anything from you. You are old enough to write now. Why don’t you write to me? Tell me all about yourself and what you do in school. I would like to know how you are getting along. You must be quite a boy now. You must be 10 or 11 years old now and well on in school. With XMas well on the way I’ll bet you are making a list of what you want. I hope you get everything you ask for and more, too. Do you still have your dog? And is he big? —

Tell your Daddy and Mommy to write & not go to Aunty Rose’s to read my letters. Tell Daddy to make a record of the family some time and I’ll try to find a phonograph to play it on. Love to you all

Dear Tom and Mary:

I sure was surprised as hell to receive that wonderful package from you two today. Every thing in it was just swell and sure hit the spot. I really can’t find words to express my thanks to both of you and Johnnie.

I know I have no written you in a long, long time. But you will have to excuse me because, sometimes I have a slip of memory and forget your address.

Did you have a nice Christmas? You two did not get drunk did you? Or isn’t it like when I used to be home. Drink, shoot crap and lose all my money?

Tom I can’t think of anything else at the present time. I am feeling fine, hope that you and Mary and Johnnie are the same. So I’ll close this letter with a load of thanks for the package. Hope that by next Christmas I shall be home to enjoy it with you and the rest of the family. What a reunion.

Dear Tom:

I had no idea I owed you a letter, Sorry. Yes, I want stuff: Film, candy. Food will spoil. Frank’s package came today with mouldy fudge. My mouth sure drooled. I can’t send my exposed film home, as you’ll have to wait until the war is over, which shouldn’t be very long now. I think I’ll have a French souvenir for the family if things turn out. From now on I’m on the market for a German camera. I’ve been trying for a Luger pistol, but I’d rather have a camera. I don’t have much time to buy stuff, since we move so often you can see. Jerry is on the run &we want to keep it so. Send some info about type of camera and I’ll try. I’m in Harry Gardi’s section now and I get to see alot of him. I have a Detrola miniature camera for #127 film. Got it in a carp game. Maybe I’ll have some luck in Belgium. Lots more letters to write. Love to you all.

Dear Stephen:

My first try at Vmail. How glad we all were when Arlene told me she had your first letter. Just the day before it arrives she spent with me. How glad I am that she came, it gave me a chancve to know here. She is fine and doing a great job of taking care of herself. Of course she misses you a lot.

so do we all.

Kay is getting a new hunting dog this week so he is all excited about it. He even has me reading books on hot to train hunting dogs. This one is an English setter_ black & white _ Karlton wants to name it “Jeenie”-so I guess “Jeenie” it will be. We are now enjoying the summer, which was so long in comming.

Karlton is staying at Thelma’s for a week, so you see it miss him too. Your letter came to day.

A lot fellow.

Steve Thanks

 

God Bless you (marian)
