“Dearest Kids,
We got home fine. Milly met us. Susan just screamed when she seen her mother. She was so glad.
I baked bread today. 8 big loaves. Wished you were close enough. You sure would have some.
There was a letter from Cliff here. He sent some pictures and said he asked for a furlough for Dec 22. So I hope this will come threw. I wrote to the boys today and sent each a Sun. paper. Cliff said he had wrote to you. I sent you the Press today.
Milly had a letter from Lorne today. He has sold his radio, car and all and is going to cable her before he leaves there.
Love Mom”
