Dear Mother:

 

            I was going to write yesterday but I thought I would wait and see if there was any mail for me but no such luck.

 

            I think the division I am in is on the move as I have not received any mail for almost two weeks.  I use[d to] receive mail about twice a week anyway.  I am working at the Red Cross building now and I find that the time does not seem so long.  We hand out stationery, magazines, cigarets and playing cards, checkers and other games.

 

I do not think we will have any snow for Xmas.  It will most likely be rain as it rains pretty near every day.  We have had miserable weather for the last two weeks.  It is a good deal worse than the weather is in Chicago at this time of the year.

 

            I am in the best of health and feeling fine.  I think I will be leaving here pretty soon as they are sending a bunch away pretty near every day.  I do not know where they go from here but I think some of them go back to the states for further treatment.  They are considered the lucky ones.  Well I hope I receive some mail from home pretty soon.  Be sure and let me know how Santa Claus treated you on Xmas.

 

                                                            Love to all
