Dear Daddy – Rec’d your letter of Feb 25 today but already had yours of the 26 – Glad to get it. Will write your Mother and let her know I heard again. Had a letter from Dolores and she will be home Mar 27 to Apr 8 so we will probably try to go to C.C. Apr 2. D. said she had a nice letter from you in Jan. Mom said Faye had been operated on for hemorrhoids and is in Union hospital in T. H. – I went to a class meeting last night. The wind was blowing and the ground freezing. I thought it would be below zero the way the wind blew but it was about 20 above. It is warmer today – sun shining and not much wind. Tomorrow is the last day to use coupon 4 in the gas book and I have only used five which leaves 3 tickets or 12 gal I didn’t use. I will have 32 gal I can buy any time after today. Mark lost a baby tooth today – wants to know if it will be worth a dime under his pillow. John is listening to the opera and keeps hushing everyone. He has an opera book and follows along with the book. David will be six months old Wed. and weighs 17 lbs and is 27 inches in height. I have two pictures on a roll I am saving to take Wed. When I get this roll developed will send you another group of him. I have started giving him fruits and trying orange juice again. So far he has been keeping it down. It is past 4 P.M. so must get this to the P.O. Not much news today I can think of. We are all well – hope we are over colds. Maybe next month will be warmer again – Taxes for ’42 figured 157.33.

Love Mother
