Darlings,
Boy oh boy!! Was it ever perfect to hear your voice again darlings. So happy to hear you received my pictures and Christmas presents. I don’t want you to feel that I sent too much mom and dad! Gosh! I could never repay you in a million years for all the trouble you had with me.
I want you to buy something for yourselves with it. Nothing would make me happier. Maybe dad needs a new pair of shoes-maybe mom wants a new dress-I want you to buy them for me-won’t you? Tell Jocie she sounds like a young woman now. Gosh! What a difference. Big brother certainly is proud of his sis-yes sir!!
Thank dear Mrs. Driscoll for the lovely card. I haven’t her address so I can’t write-it was really nice for Mrs. Driscoll to remember me-she’s swell.
I still can’t get over that telephone call-I couldn’t even undress myself for bed when I came back to the room. Pete told me to thank you for the nice note you sent him but, I was so excited I forgot, naturally.
I suppose Christmas is really in full swing now-gosh! I wish I were home. I lay in bed last night thinking of Christmas days gone by-my throat choked a bit but I kicked myself and said “Gosh, Jim, think of those guys fighting-you shouldn’t kick!” So I went to sleep feeling a little better.
Well, darlings, that phone call was wonderful-thank you so much.
Your loving son,
Jim
