Dearest Folks:
It was very nice to come back from pass today and have three letters waiting for me and especially ones that I wanted most. I had to talk myself into leaving today and then wished I hadn’t gone. I came back early and slept until now. I think I am as happy about the house as you are and I’ll bet when I come back it will be quite a plan. I hope you will read the book I told you about for besides enjoying it for the reading, you can understand some of the things I write about in my letter. Had a letter from Dick yesterday but I’m having a hard time trying to get a pass arranged. The roster is filled up until July and maybe something will happen in that time. Once more my optimism is getting the better of me as the war moves along. I hope I’m not wrong and that it will be over in another year.
Love,
