ARMY AIR BASE – LINCOLN, NEBRASKA POSTMARKED: 5-6-43
Dear mom,
I recd. your letter and am sorry I haven’t written sooner but you all make me so darn mad when you can’t make up your minds about me calling you. I wanted to call Easter but you never told me whether or not it was ok.
I only have 20 more days of school left. Excuse my rush but I recd. 4 letters today and none from J. Ann and I’m mad.
I want you to send me my shoe ration ticket & enough dough to buy me a pair of shoes. The shoes (?) wore out that I got for Xmas. So hurry & send it to me. I have been to South Dakota to see Jean Ann in the past few days. I got a 3 day pass. It is about 300 miles from here. Well is sis out of school yet. Tell her I want to borrow her Chev. Until I get me an airplane. HaHa!
Well I’ll close for now. The next time you all write please make up your minds before you write.
Cheers,
Earl D.
