Dearest Mom,
Pat won't mind if I add a note to you and one to Polly in her letter I'm sure.
Yes, mom, I've been building air castles over here too, but now that this point system is in effect and has been explained, it's going to be pure luck if I get out soon. If the system works as planned it will be the most fair way possible of selecting the lucky ones. Some of these Infantry boys have seen hell now for a long time and they should be first. I'll pick up a few points for length of service and Lynne will do her bit, but while our combat time has been successful, it is short compared to outfits that fought in Tunisia, Italy, etc. and then came to France on D Day. Really though the whole works including Japan shouldn't take too darned long and then for sure I'll be on my way home to you and all those whom I'm dreaming of.
Yes, Mom, please send me
some stationary. No envelopes though (this time anyway), and some ink if possible.
Thanks, Mom-
Polly dear,
Your baby should be pretty close to a reality now so I know how happy you you'll be-and busy! Take care of yourself and don't overdo anything will you. I'm certainly glad you and Leona can share a bit of your time and enjoy each other the way you have.
I've had visions of holding my little one in my arms lots of times sis, but I always wake up just when she starts to smile at me and then I just lie awake and wonder what it's going to be like.
Got to mail this now if it gets off in the next mail, so be good-
Lots and Lots of Love
Lu
