Letter from Clarence Williams to Gretchen Williams, December 26, 1944

Well here we are some where on the East coast. The weather here is quite cold with some snow and ice on the ground.

I was thinking just yesterday, I should have said good bye to Hal’s folks before I left. Hope he won’t be sore but you just can’t do everything.

I am enclosing a letter and Xmas card from the Crosbie’s. Know you will be very interested in hearing from them especially the part about the Anderson’s.

I hope you had an enjoyable Xmas and know you had a delicious dinner. We each received a pocket game (mine was a set of dominoes) and a package of cigarettes from the chaplain. Managed to find some bridge players so had a game of contract. I had terrible cards but we won because of a good partner.

I am feeling fine but sure wish I was back in good old Oklahoma. Was over to the Px and had some rolls and coffee, boy it really hit the spot.

Well darling I haven’t any more news at present so will close until tomorrow —
