Dear folks & all:
Today is Easter Sunday but it doesn’t mean a great deal to me and my men and several others who are over seas. We did however take time out for prayer.
I am enclosing a picture that was taken on Christmas day in our mess hall. The gentleman sitting next to me is the Colonel. They snapped the picture just as I had a fork to my mouth. It will give you an idea of our galley and by the looks of the table you will see we had pie and I might add we haven’t had it since then.
The sun is still teriffic here. No fooling in the afternoon when you get out from under the coconut trees you feel as if you will faint away any second. Sweat, boy I’ll bet I sweat a gallon of water per hour.
My dog and pups are getting along swell.
I received a nice letter from Aunt Ella and I am always glad to hear from her. Say Mother why don’t you suggest to her that she take the necklace I made you to school to show her pupils. They should enjoy it.
Received the wall paper the samples of the wall paper in it. I liked the paper very much and I know it will look very nice upon completion. Oh: yes I also got the stamps and thanks a million. I can always use them.
Tell Leota I received a box of cigars from her yesterday and that they are swell and I have saved them for Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings.
Glad to hear that Robert’s are all on the road to recovery. Hope this finds you feeling fine.
Remember, I think of all of you every day and pray that we will all be united together again some day.
All my love,
Leo
