Luxembourg Jan. 23 '45
Dearest Mom,
A little mail dribbled in tonight. All "V" mail which seems to be the fastest coming over now. I got yours of Jan. 3rd. (typing was very clear) one from Lela Nelson and one from a buddy in Germany.
I'm glad to hear Bea and Mike are home. What's bothering Bea now? I hope nothing serious. I'll bet it seems more like having a family around you now.
Dad's last letter was dated December 19th. He was quite worried about the breakthrough and I hope he has the letters I sent as soon as I was able. I sent him a picture of Lynne and Leona as soon as they reached me and he was certainly tickled to get it-claims Lynne is a Winsor through and through. I still don't have the latest pictures Leona is sending but they should come soon. --- I hope. Dad says that he still intends to come home just as quickly as he can get someone to take over and judging from the snapshot of himself that he included I hope it is soon. I'm not used to him looking so thin. He just works altogether too hard. Believe you me, I'm going to press him hard from now on until he does either get someone himself or just go home and let the Iranian ministry do something for themselves.
I think I've got my cold licked now, although my head still stuffs up while I'm out in the field. It's cold as blazes outside now but I'm dressed warmly so don't worry about me.
I hope you can read this -I won't write so small next time. Your single spaced typing works swell.
I'll get a letter off to Leona tomorrow night. It's too late tonight. Relay my love to Mip and the rest.
All my love,
Lu
