Congratulations on your anniversary.
Did you have a big time today? I have
thought about you quite a few times today.
Today was my day off and I went into
town and stayed all night at the Red Cross.
Then this morning I attended church services
in town. It was a Methodist church. There
services are a lot different than what I am
use to. I believe this is the first church
I have been in for over a year.
What have you been doing all day? It
was a beautiful day and real warm out.
This afternoon another fellow and I went for
a walk. I guess we are turning limey over
here. All the townspeople go walking in the
country on Sunday afternoons.
I have received quite a few letters this
last week and also have answered quite
a few. There isn't much to write about
from this side though. We keep plenty
busy with our work now.
Gee I really don't know what to write
about tonight. I guess I have answered all
your questions in your last letter so
it is hard to think of anything to write about.
Mother, will you get a Valentine Box
of candy for yourself and one for Irene out
of my allotment check. I can't be there to
get it this year.
Tell everyone I said hello and I will
try to write more next time. Goodnight
for now. I guess it is sack time now.
So long.
Love Ralph.
The next letter will be posted on February 7th.
