Dearest Gee. Got four wonderful letters from you today. Your Sept. 12, 14, 15, and 17 air-mails. Also got a letter from Mom and Mildred C, and a v-mail from Florence so I really had a field day.

Dearest Gee. No mail yet. I’m sweating out some of those batches of cookies you say are on the way. Hope my mail is getting through to you a little better by this time.

Dearest Gee. Didn’t get any letters last night so this won’t be much of a letter. Just don’t have anything I can write about. I think you had the right name for those islands.
