Winfred writes to Margaret; doesn’t mind the place; has a pen that skips; is munching on his weekly rations that he stood in line for hours to get; heard from Cliff that he is expecting a transfer; Cliff heard from their cousin Lynn; worked up the energy to shave; asks about the Dickey’s and Erma; and says it is cold but they have a cheery fire in their stove.
