Dear Mom,
Hello again. I didn’t have any thing to do after I saw the show tonight so I decided to drop you a few more lines. I know how lonesome you must get now that you and pop are the only ones at home. You should keep Judy with you while Sis is going to college this summer. I guess she keeps you busy doesn’t she? I haven’t written Lee yet tonight. It is really hard to compose a letter. I haven’t gotten any for so long. No questions to answer or anything like that. I’m not doing to bad though am I? (Don’t answer that. Ha! Ha!) Boy will I be glad when they start that long awaited for Invasion so I can come home again. I’ll bet I don‘t ever volunteer for anything like this dam army again. What’s my Pop doing to keep himself busy these days. Is he still a farmer. Hope you’re OK mom and write real soon.
your loving son
Earl Jr.
