Hello darling, I am kinda in the
dumps, the radio tells us we have been losing some bombers lately and I feel
quite sure they are some of your buddy’s - pretty rugged - I call it. I

upon him when you need him he will take care of you. I promise.
Today is Saturday – hope we have
a good day but its just before they pay off the farm hands and they may not
come to get their clothes. We haven’t had a letter from you since the four
on Monday. Hope we can hear again Monday. Everybody is worried because
they aren’t hearing this week. Suppose they will all come in at one time.

enjoyed them.
Can’t think of another thing
today. I’m praying each night for you.
