Italy
Dear Dad & Mon:
Just finished a bath & shampoo so feel like a million dollars tho I'd settle for less.  Thought for awhile I'd have to write this by candle light but our lights came on a few minutes ago.  Reckon the magneto on the little power plant must be balking.
In tonights mail I got a V-mail from you, December twenty ninth, a letter from an old army friend who is now in England and three belated Christmas cards one gave me quite a twinge of sadness for it was from the Rhude's and Mrs. had written a nice note on it, only day before yesterday I heard of her death the others were from Breckners & Agnes & Chuck Hoover.
So Harold Wendland working for Tony now as for the Conoco station.  From what we've been hearing about blizzards and cold spells I think you're wise to leave the car in the garage for cold weather driving is no pleasure.
My cold is better now I think got some more drops at the dispensary yesterday and they really seemed to help my stopped up head.  Don't know what they are for they seem

Saving...
