An After Christmas Card

(Post Marked December 30, 1943 - The last message for the year. Dad mentions some picture post cards in his letter which is written on the back of the card,and Geraldine wrote on the back of the envelope that there were some pictures enclosed with the card. Those pictures are in my previous post from Geraldine's Scrap Book.)

Hello Sis

Well Christmas is over now, and I had a pretty good time. I got a pass from 3 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday. And I came in 2 hrs. late. First time I was ever A.W.O.L. But there were so many late that they never said much. I went to the Pallidum and had a pretty good time, got a picture taken. But can’t send them so good. I have some picture of camp Irwin on post cards I am sending you. We have the hard part of our training over with now and we are taking it easy. I am pretty sure I will be home by February. I sure was glad to get that Xmas box as it sure come in handy.

Well so long and write soon.
