Dear Marian,

I received your letter today that was written the second of this month and yesterday I got your package. Your package was in the best shape of any that I have received yet. The soap didn't spoil any of it. The package contained fine packs of Luckies, the sweetest soap, candy and Italian Cookies. Everything was fresh and in good shape. Thanks a million.

I knew Dot Atget[?] joined the waves but I didn't know that she broke off with her boyfriend or that he was missing in action.

I was glad to see that Roosevelt got re-elected. He always was tops in my eyes. I expected him to walk away with it too. I was so sure that you at home wouldn't change Presidents that I didn't even vote.

There hasn't been any big name stars here that I have seen since Dinah Shore. I'm seeing plenty of U.S.O. shows

[...] Now I am living inside a building with heat and everything, almost all of the comforts of home. Sometimes I don't even realize that the war is going on.

There is nothing to write about so I will close now but promise to write more often from now on. Give my love to Franny and the children.

Your brother George
