Dearest Mom,
Just a note to tell you I'm OK and doing all right. I don't remember whether I told you before-but your package came through with the fruitcake (delicious) Salami, Peanut brittle, deviled meat, tuna, soap, socks & toothpaste. It was very much appreciated. Speaking of packages, I got one from Aunt Dee & Uncle Norman Shirtliff containing candy, nuts, and an unmarked can which is packed where I haven't been able to get it for quite some time now, but I think it's a canned fruit cake. Anyhow, I lost their address in the hustle & bustle of things over here-I think it's just plain Overton Nevada, but I'm not sure, so will you write and thank them for me?
The cold isn't bothering me much these days except for my feet-they about freeze off every day in spite of the warm wool socks you sent. I've got just a slight touch of trench foot but I'm not going to let it get any worse. if the numbness in my toes doesn't leave by tomorrow I'm going on sick call-urgent work or no- Don't worry, it's not serious by a long shot.
I hope the mail comes in soon. I've missed letters from home as much as the good old warm sunshine.
All my love-Lu
