Hello Ma:

      Received your letter of Jan 28th, Yvonne's little letter with the heart drawn on the back, Phus's Valentine, November issue of Air Pilot Technician, and the slippers from Phus. Thanks. It's a good thing that she enclosed a little card with her name on it because I would not have gotten those slippers. The post office gave our mail clerk the two shoes with that little Hutzler Bros. card signed by Phus. There wasn't any box or wrappings to be found. Was there by any chance supposed to have been anything else in the package in which the slippers were at one time wrapped? Every day I wear them. Much more comfortable than regular G.I. shoes. Received a Dec. 4th Newsweek.

      Enclosed are 27 more pictures.

      That's all for now -

Earl

      P.S. Am O.K. myself.
