Cigarettes are the best thing a service man could have

Darlings,

So happy to hear your Christmas Day was so nice. I wish I could’ve been there. Gosh! Mom-you always eat too much-you old darling!

My Christmas was swell-it wasn’t very exciting but, when I think of those poor boys fighting on Christmas-I figure I have it pretty soft.

Say, Dad, that band you sent me-really makes my watch look like a million bucks. All the guys think I got a new watch for Christmas. It really is a beauty. Jocelyn, your much-needed carton of cigarettes arrived today. Thank you so much darling. It was so nice of my little sister to remember her brother. Cigarettes are the best thing a service man could have. Thanks again darling.

I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to buy with my mom’s wonderful present. I think I will save it for my officers uniform-aren’t I talking big! I had better simmer down.

Well, darlings, Pete and I got Fighter-isn’t that wonderful. Our new station will be in Arizona. I can’t say the place but, Arizona has wonderful flying weather, I guess. Have you ever seen pictures of a P40-or P39? Well, your little son will probably be flying them pretty soon-I hope.

Well, darlings, I’m so glad you had a merry Christmas. It makes me feel so happy when I know everything is okay back home.

Your loving son,

Jim

Thanks again Jocie darling, your brother misses his little sister.
