Dear Jan

 

Well darling, last night we saw our first show in over five months. It was really a great feeling. Not too good a show, but still one we all enjoyed. It was Arsenic and Old Lace. You probably saw it some time ago.

 

Yesterday got a letter from Mother written on Christmas day. My sister that teaches in Red Lake was with them for the holidays and one of my brothers lives only a few miles from them so they had a nice Christmas.

 

Haven't received your Christmas present yet, but realise that there are lots of things that could happen to it. You know what they are. As long as I get your letters that 's all I ask for. Believe me honey, that is what keeps us going over here.

 

All my love

 

Len
