Dear Joe,

Again a post card came this morning & also a letter from Teresa (at last). She said her daddy would take (radio) care of it so I'm pretty glad. At least we want our radio. I'm glad that your working to keep yourself busy.

Your weather must be something like our weather. In the morning its ice cold, like winters here & then in the afternoon its so hot that summer seems like it will never end. (Practically every bit of the snow has melted.

Well, at least I'm glad to hear from you. Towru never writes & I always do, so its your duty to keep it up.

Now, I write as soon as a letter comes, but if no letter, I don't write.

Good thing you ain't got a girl friend.

Well, at least someday we will be with you again next year. They probably will start the draft here in camp after the disloyal ones are gone.

Out of space. Will write again.

Mas.
