Dear Mom. Dad and All:
Just a few lines to acknowledge receipt of the following mail:-
Letter
Mailed
Received
1 from Gerry
Mar 17
April 5
Last V-mail letter received in twelve days. Have sent them all
to George. Evelyn has not yet received your letter, but should this
week. Thanks for Baptism certificate and letters. My allotments
were not deducted from my March pay for some reason or other. Am
inquiring about it. I got the full pay. Evelyn and I saw the
priest of her parish last Friday night and her instructions began Monday
(5th April). The priest was very nice. She has been looking
at wedding dresses. Will have a white satin one and a veil with orange
blossoms. Wedding cake also ordered. George will be best man.
Will ask Eve about ring, but think we can get one here okay. Will
let you know if we want you to get it. It won't be long now!
Got a laugh out of Gerry's poem. Sent it on to Evelyn. Will
reply to it later. Am hale, hearty, & happy.
Love, Thatch
