V-MAIL DATED 5-29-44
Dear Mom –
Just recd. a V mail from you sent the 17th of May and was really glad to hear you’re doing ok. Guess all those letters sent to my old A.P.O. number will catch up to me some day. Just about the time I ask you a question & get the letter in the box I get one of those old letters answering it. Oh well – I don’t mind. I got a letter from Sis today also. Guess she and Arch are having a good time while he’s home on furlough. Does Sis still want to be an old maid! Mumsy did you ever get that Paper sent to me I ask about? I’d like the Oldham Era to if it’s not to much trouble to send. I bought a new pair of shoes today. Boy am I rough on civilian shoes. I got my rations again for the week today. We got four bars of candy this week. I think I’ll stay in tonight and see the show. I don’t know the name of it yet. Boy is it hot here this afternoon. I think I’ll take a cold shower to wake me up a little. I didn’t hear from my boss (Lee) today. Guess she’s still ok! Isn’t she? I’ll close for now and write again tomorrow.
your Loving Son,
Earl Jr.
