Dearest Dorma,
Haven't recived any letters from you in quite some time and was beginning to worry. I just got out of the hospital wed so didn't have much of an opportunity to write you. I taht may be you were mad because I promise to you a picture for xmas and these never sent it. Well here it is, my mother had some more made and is getting them the 12th of Jan. I probably won't be home to give it to you cause I'm shipping moday so I'll have Casey give it to you are you could pick it up at the "400" what the ans? The Company

is out on business and will return tomorrow so I've had it mighty easy the last day & a half sleeping till ten which is very unusual in the army. I here it's pretty cold in chic, boy we've been having nice warm weather down here seen shining all the time. I went to Dallas new years and sun Larry Swindell, his guest the same as ever going in Service soon. He wanted to know how the old gang was wwhihc I couldn't tell him much about. Well hurry I haven't much to say of any importance to night & I want to write my brother so will close with love & kisses
Love
