Addressed to "Dad + Bee." He is up to ten missions and his mail is coming in very slowly. One Christmas package has arrived safely and it's a "real treat to feast on some good cookies and candies." He enclosed a check [not included] to his father to purchase war bonds, as it's a smart investment. Life is the same and luckily the food isn't too bad. Between raids is the worst as that's when the boredom sets in. He hasn't seen Barry for a while as he has been on misisons.
