John William Graham letters, December 1944

1944-12-25 John W. Graham to Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Graham Page 1

Christmas - 44
Italy
Dear Dad & Mom:
I'm not working today.  It's not a white Christmas but a wet one instead.  The day isn't cold but not very pleasant.  However the stove is going fine and I'm very comfortable compared to a lot of fellows I know so I've no kick coming at all.
Washed out my stocking cap this morning and have it spread out on a towel to dry the way I've seen you do with wool sweaters - things so I expect it won't shrink,  Must wash my wool sweater too it's getting quite stinky.  Thought I'd experiment with a smaller thing first and see how it came out.  I know our laundry service would send it back about the size to fit my little friend.  I sent the snap shot of not long ago.
Have a quite recent Coronet to read this afternoon and I should write some more letters.  I like to work the word puzzles etc. that are in it and find the articles as good as the Readers Digest, hadn't seen one for a long time however.
John Booth is busy making a picture frame out of Plexiglas for a recent picture he received of his baby.  Think it
