Dear
Father, Mother and the rest of the folks at home,
In
case this letter reaches you in time, I hope you have a very merry
Christmas as no doubt you will have if Ann Marie is still around. If
it doesn’t reach you in time I hope that you will have had one. I
received the package from home today. It came thru safe and sound. To
date I have also received greeting from Grandmother, Aunt Esther and
Uncle Lawrence’s as well as from various people here in Calif.
Ann
Marie certainly looks learned and dignified leafing thru that great
big book, as shown in the snapshot you sent mother. Don’t forget to
send the rest of them too, at least for a look at them if not to
keep. Her hair has certainly grown at a considerable rate since I saw
her, because she seems to have quite a bit on the picture. A penny
for your thoughts, Ann Marie! What are you thinking about anyway?
The
eclipse of the moon last night turned out fairly well. It was quite
cloudy till about 6 or 6:15 but obligingly cleared off thereafter so
that the movement of the shadow of the earth off the moon could be
plainly seen. The moon was never completely invisible in that you
could detect its outline even when the eclipse was total, but it was
much paler than it ordinarily would be. I can’t recall having
watched a lunar eclipse before so it was quite intriguing.
A.J.
was down this week as I mentioned he would be, but he didn’t get
here on Monday. I saw and talked to him today but he won’t know
till after the first of the year on the transfer. He gave a
reasonable enough explanation as to why no action has occurred but
somehow or other I still get the impression that I am being given the
run-around. I am beginning to feel that if I am to get back to the
midwest, it won’t be by a transfer.
Since
the bonds I asked about awhile back seem to be o.k., you don’t need
to send them out. Evidently only some of them issued during the month
were not correctly made out and I didn’t get any of them.
I
can’t think of much more to write about so
Merry
Ch
