 You can't imagine how glad I wes to get your letter this eve- ming. Mail sure is scarce these days. Seems like ages between each letter. Bou, I'd give anything to be home for Chri stmas ,I'd give any thing to get home just for little while. I know what you mean about this "wri ting business"
 Here t is pretty near the end of another year. How time flies! Ths is. in one way it does. Time ms to take on two different phases. The days are slow, draggin nt by, at Q snail's pace. After supper ycn come in & cuss & try to find SC thing to do till about 10 ,H;e. o'clock so you cen go to bed, but the weeks & months seem to fly. linen you think about all that time vast Cd when 1t could be spent at home. Qn4y it's worse than wasting time because not only s constructto on at a standstill--it s actually moving backwards. If all the. energy and t ne and money (but money is a minoi me tter) used to fight war could be put to use in time of peace for bettering the countries of the world & deve loping trade, it would sure be a ma rv6lous achievement. But there's always just enough crack pots left to make it mis erablt fer everybody.
