Dear Jackie:
This is Sunday afternoon and we are in the Red Cross drinking Coca Cola and eating donuts. We aren't going back for supper. This afternoon it is raining but we have been for a walk down by the river. It is the Neckep river and is very large. There were some birds , that looked a little like our pigeons mostly white with black tipped wings. The boys would throw them food and they would catch it in the air. If

Take a short break with our 1 minute survey, simple questions that are an enjoyable distraction.

Edit

missed two or three would land on the water after it. It started to rain again so we are back writing. you can tell Grammie that we are listening to a radius program from New York. The red cross radius are about all we hear. Have mother take a picture of you and your dolls and sank some to daddy. Daddy looks at your pictures really every day. The can find anyone to show them to, he brags about his daughter. I know by the paper that you have snow now but over here all it does is rain every day. We haven't had a nice day since we got here. Once in a while

Blue lines under the date allows navigation to letters of a similar date. Play with them and you'll see how they can be used.

Edit

the sun shines for a few hours but not the whole day. Daddy was lucky to be sent here it is much nicer than any other place he has been. The people are clean and there are a lot of paces for recreation but he still thinks of his family and wishes he could be with them. We had a good time together and someday soon, we will start in again. We missed camp this summer, but maybe by the best of next fall, "We hope", we can go to camp and other places again together

Navigation buttons (previous/next lot previous/next letter) are in the brown header and footer of this and most pages.

Edit

How do those new skis work, be sure and have mother write about them & bet you fall down once in a while. Does Mother take you and Sis down street on the sled or does she make your pull sister?

There has been a one star and a three star General here this afternoon, they are big shot. Mother will understand this. Will close and write another letter to someone. can't divide to whom because we won't receive any mail until last of this month

Love to you all
Daddy
P.S. Mailed the pictures of Paris.

Did you know: The word "inst" was a very commonly used abbreviation for the Latin "instante mense" meaning this month.
