Lake Street Station
My Dear Ruth
I will write a few lines to let you know how I am getting along. I am fine except my leg is pretty sore and swollen but I am working so everything is O.K. I was just in and had the Dr. put a new patch on it. He called me a lame duck just in fun.
Say Washington’s birthday kind of upset our mail. I thought I would get a letter and package today from you folks but no mail was delivered. I have quite a few things ready to send but am waiting till I can send my clothes up at the same time.
It is thawing quite a lot here today but the sun is not shining much its kind of hazy like.
Gee, I hope you get the rest of the pictures taken so I can see them It will help me some to even see your pictures as it’s so lonesome here without you folks but it won’t be long now till I’ll be seeing you. by-by with lots of love from Daddy.
