New Guinea

Sept. 9, 1944

Hello Ma:

      Mail service is about as bad as ever. Received a letter from Phus dated August 28th. She asked me what size of shoe I wear. 6½E is my size. Don't send me any spats - or snowshoes - or ice skates. Enclosed are some pictures to add to the collection.

      That's all for this short note. So, until a later date -

Earl
