Dear Ben + All;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is Monday P.M. We got paid this morning now they give us\nthe afternoon off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather has been beautiful over the week end. It could\nnot be any better day then today. Not too hot. Just an ideal day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I suppose you went to the Cemetery this morning. I could not\ngo so at least I thought about you being there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lilacs are all in bloom here now. A girl that works in our P.X. In other words store, give me one branch this morning so I put it on my shelf. It smells so good. Everybody was smelling of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those pictures you send me were real good. I am going to keep them, at least long as I can. That one with the pheasant was very good. Everybody looks the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you your corn in by now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gosh those fish you and Lee got spuring sounded like so much\nfun. Funny how they come way down that small ditch. At least you didn’t have\nfar to go after them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think I will go to clean up then go to town for a little\nwhile. Might as well get a beer or two as long as we get the day off. So Long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
