John William Graham letters, December 1944

1944-12-25 John W. Graham to Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Graham Page 2

was born in July so of course he's never seen her.  Nevertheless he's a proud papa and very interested in how much she weighs etc.  The other fellows are engaged in various odd jobs or sleeping.  Bill is out doing a welding job which he enjoys for he doesn't have to do it, it's not his regular work.
Think I'll pop some more corn this evening for it does taste good.  We've already used up nearly all we have so I do hope you can find some and send it soon.  Maybe we'll be so full tho we won't any for there is the promise of a big feed today.
You asked me in a recent letter if I got the snapshots taken around the house, I did and was very happy to get them.  Those trees certainly looked good and the lawn showed it had good care.  I know how many miles you chased the lawn mower this summer to keep it that way.
Don't think they raise peanuts over here, but have almonds, English walnuts pecans & filberts that I've seen.  Haven't bought any for a long time for I haven't had the chance.  There's been so much Christmas stuff the past month tho we've all been practically gorged most of the time.  Everyone I know got lots of boxes, but there are some yet to come.  Booth hasn't had any from his wife and she
