John William Graham letters, December 1944

Dear Dad & Mom:
Just started to write this when the stove went out and I had to stop and fill it up.  Didn't have to go far for the fuel for I just carried some to the shack last night.  We've certainly had good luck with our stove so far, hope it continues.
One of the boys manufactured a toaster this morning heretofor we've just used a fork and it just about scorched a hand as well as the bread.  Haven't tried it yet but it should work very well.
Did something last night I haven't done in a long time, put a jig saw puzzle together.  Somebody got it in a Christmas box and didn't care for it.  Never thought I did either but it passed an evening.
Have you heard from Aunt Cora about Russell yet?  Surely hope so and I feel there is a pretty good chance for him judging from what I've seen.
I've been reading a comic book of Blondie cartoons, there were certainly some funny ones.  the guy that draws that
