Dear Mother,

This is a little late but I’m enclosing a mother’s day greeting to be given you by the boys. It’s a little beating around the bush for me to send to you for the boys to give you – I also got one for mom and put it in her Sunday letter.

While I’m at it I’m now wishing you a happy wedding anniversary which comes as I recal about 3 wks from tomorrow.

I’ve been out this morning doing some running around and it makes one tired riding in the truck like vehicles over roads that aren’t to smooth.

They are building a tent for the chaplin so maybe we won’t spoil him in the next few days. He had his church service yesterday morning so didn’t have to go out last night.

Well, I’ll be writing tomorrow

Love Daddy

P.S. Your v-mail of Mar 26, arrived this AM.
