Dear Mother & Dad,
Still the same old thing, nothing to write about and the mail is still coming in slow. I’m getting a pass, but I am unable to go see bud as he is too far away. I’ll tell you all about it when I get back. One of these days I may be close enough to go see bud and Eddie both, but not at the present time. It has been pretty nice this week and the snow is beginning to melt. Been playing a little cards at night. Some nighttime lucky and others I’m not. One night I lost $36.00 without winning a hand. But I always manage to come out ahead at the end of the month. Have a small cold now all but it’s coming along fine. Guess this is all for now so I’ll say good-bye and I love you both very much. Just received a letter from Snook, he’s and Northern France.
Your Son,
“Chick”
