Thirty-four
March 19, 1918
My Sweetheart,
Before me are five of your letters that I haven't answered yet.  One of them - dated January 28 - walked in today.  So tonight I shall browse among them and stick in my part of the conversation.  The first that I pick up was written January 13, or while I was still in Washington.  The fact that I got it a few days ago along with letters of February 17 and 18 shows how lackadaisical our mail service is.  But it doesn't matter - just so some of them are coming all the time.
The first good chance I get I'll have some kodak pictures of moi-meme taken for the Cottey memory books.  I wish I could have got some up in the trenches the other day.  Orders don't allow that, though; we can only have personal photos with no background showing.  I'm quite in love with this idea of having a "ready made" family of charming

Saving...
