Winfred writes his sister Margaret; asks why he received only one letter today (it was from her but only contained newspaper clippings); asks about her and cousin Joyce and their swimming lessons; says he feels a lot better – you can tell because his sarcasm is coming back + he is gaining weight; asks if she saw their brother Cliff while he was home; is glad she can get back home to see the Folks; goes into detail about how there was never a dull moment at home when they were young; wonders how things could have changed “so dam much?”; doesn’t know how much longer he will be over there but it has already been too long. This is his last piece of paper so he will try to write more next time
