Dear Mother,

Received a letter from Mark thanking me for the birthday present and a V-mail letter from you dated Feb. 10 so neither of them were very newsy but very welcome even at that. I’m afraid I’ll be spoiled for mail has been coming rather regular again. We got some news on regulations about mail and the maine one was to the affect that only V-mail in areas where it was available and I don’t know if it’s available here or not so you might try air mail more often again.

We are fairly well set in our new home but you

[page 2] know how moving etc is. I know when I get back I’ll have to buy everything new because my shirts pants etc are all mold covered. I aired my mattress cover yesterday and it smelled fine. Even had the mattress out for a while but today it’s the same old smell. I looked at my billfold today – The first time in ages and it was all moldy – even the money. So much for mold.

As usual there isn’t any tellable news so if I can find a stamp that will stick and an envelope that will unstick I’ll get this going.

Love Daddy
