Dear Mom –
Just a few lines today to my favorite girl to let you know I’m still fine as ever and I hope this will find you the same way. I just got paid today so guess I’ll have to celebrate my first payday in the E.T.O. tonight. I haven’t recd. my 3 months flying pay yet. I’m supposed to get that the 3rd of June. I’ll send most of it home when I get it for you to do what ever you want to with. Guess you got the allotment check allright didn’t you for March, April and May? I sure hope so. I recd. a letter from you, C.K., and Lee today. They were all addressed to my old A.P.O. number but C.K.’s. Guess I’ll be getting old mail for quite sometime yet. I haven’t recd. any of the candy as yet guess it takes about a month to get here. Will you see if they have any large Panda bears in Louisville. Lee wants one and they don’t have such things here. If they do get her a real large one and pay for it out of my money and send it to her please. Thanks a million. She’s a larger kid than Judith Ann isn’t she? Ha! I’ll close for now hoping to hear from you again soon.
Your Loving Son,
Earl Jr.
