Dear Folks,
i received a bundle of back mail yesterday and there were several letters from you. Some of them were two months old. Letters are still good, no matter how old they are. The last few days we have been quite busy, so I haven’t had much time to write letters. I just have to wait my chance and take it.

You have me wrong about Margaret Buttler. I said I would like to write her, but I never have. I always was bashful around her. She is the only girl I was ever really scared of, if you know what I mean.

I write to several girls now. Some of them are pretty nice girls, although one or two I have my doubts about. The main ones are as follows: Wilma White, my girl in Beaver. She is really a nice girl. She was at the house one day, if you remember. I still write Gloria Olson. She is another very fine girl. I don’t know if you remember Mary Lou Egan or not. She is from Cedar also. Vida Fullmen from Driggs if you remember her. She is in Salt Lake, working in a bank, in which she started over two years ago. There is a girl in Pennsylvania, which you have never met. The others are not worth mentioning. So you see, I have picked a few nice ones. I always have plenty of letters to write.

I got word from my last ship today that they have two packages for me, so maybe they are the ones you sent me. I may get them tomorrow if the guys bring them over.

I have a twelve to four tonight, so had better hit the sack.

With love,
Charles
