Dearest,
Sam, Kay and Anita paid me a short visit to night and picked up the Xmas gifts. I called Kay this evening early and they were also going to visit Mom and Pop. This stationary is a gift from them and Jimmie got $5.00 from Anita. I bought them hankies for Sam – evening handkerchief for Kay and a hat and pocket book set for Anita. They seemed pleased with all the gifts. They send their best to you.
The baby and I are well and still miss our dear Daddy. It’s so nice and comfy here and the weather has turned a bit milder. There’s a nice Christmas tree in our lobby and I’ll probably see the sup’t Sam and give him his gift to morrow.
Terry Whitman sent me a Vmail letter to-day and Mr. Kessler and Mildred and Herbert Reuben sent me Xmas cards. Here’s Terry’s address.

It was written on Dec. 2nd 1943. If you have any time, write to him.
I’ve been quite lucky to get a pack of films and Addy Sherwin also got me a roll. So more snaps will be taken soon and then forwarded to you.
Those creole pralines are quite delicious and perhaps the finest one I had didn’t find me in the praline mood.
To-morrow I have an appointment with the beauty parlor and expect to get a nice hair-do and the trimmings. Betty is going to watch Jimmie while I’m gone. Most of my shopping is done for the week-end and from Monday on I’m going to rest and make that body of mine beautiful again,
Good night, my sweet, will continue to-morrow. Love
Fri morn. Jimmie and I overslept, my mind seems to be at ease again. After breakfast, I went down for the mail. No mail from you but I did get a bill for your vault. The check will be sent out to-night or to-morrow night. Baby is fine, tries to talk and says the most unusual words – which I cannot comprehend. Spoke to the folks – all’s well.
The weather is clear and colder.
All my love and devotion to you, sweetheart.
As always,
