Dear Bro.
Ilene & you keep asking me to write more often.
Well I know I don't write very often but if you knew
how I hate to write you wouldn't say a word. How are
you? I am feeling fine. Things don't seem the same over
here since the hostilities ceased. I get so lonesome I
don't know what to do, there was always more or less
excitement & now there isn't any.
Wishing you a merry Xmas & a happy New Year. I am
as ever, your Bro. Fred

2. Me, This picture was taken in a hangar & isn't
very good.
