Dear Folks,
Happy, burp, Thanksgiving! burp.
I’ve just come back from a Thanksgiving meal that was delicious. Turkey, potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, etc. It wasn’t as elaborate as I used to get at home, but, it was undoubtedly better than some other soldiers are getting. I guess I do have a lot to be thankful for. In fact, I’m not even going to gripe once during this letter.
The package arrived yesterday and was welcomed by all. The cookies passed inspection with a gold star. And we really made a feast on that salami and bread. One of the fellows wasn’t quite sure about the cookies so he wants you to send another batch to double check, if you get what he means.
I hope you had good weather for Thanksgiving. The weather here is perfect again. It’s warm again and practically all the snow has melted. Say, don’t forget to send me some snapshots of the family. Old ones will do, just anything that I can look at when I feel like it. Guess I’ve run out of news, so
Until Victory,
Ben
