Thanks Backof for the Christmas card. Replies to a comment regarding an abundance of tomatoes and how they would be a delicacy to a man in the army. Writes that he would like to go out with a lady and then jokes that he woke up and saw uniforms all around him. An aerogramme consists of a blank sheet of paper with folding instructions and adhesive flaps that becomes its own envelope, and carries prepaid postage at the international airmail letter rate.
