Dear Grace,

I received yur letter dated April 10th at my new station today.  I sure was happy
hear from you.  I am glad to hear that you like the candy I sent.  It wasn't much but one of these days I'll surprise you with an extra special box of candy especially for you.

I sure would like to see how you look in your evening dress but as it will be impossible for me to be there, how about taking a few snapshots and sending me a few?

I sure am sorry to hear that mom is not feeling well.  I sure do wish her a speedy recovery.

Say, when is this banquet or this shindig going to be held, the one you have that new gown for?

I finally got my wish. I am now at a ORD (Overseas Replacement Depot)  I can't tell you anything about it cause they want everything that goes on her kept on a hush.

I don't blame 'em cause in the past year over 200 spies were convicted in this town.  This is a Hot Bed for spies.

I am in good health and I sure do love to hear from you cause I like you a little bit too much and that is bad.  So I guess I'll close remaining as ever,
Ray
