My Dearest February 21st
Just a few lines this morning to say
I am O.K. and enjoying myself. I don't know
it may be what's comming that accounts for
my being in such good spirts. The weather
is still lovely. Think maby I will go to
the horse races this afternoon. I am told
they have some good ones here. Right now
some of the boys are having a jam session
here in the Red Cross Lounge. They have a guitar
& Mandolin Plus a little whiskey I think so
you can imagine the rest. I went swimming yes-
terday evening. They have a nice pool. All closed
in & steam heated. Sweetheart I don't have much
more space so will close for now.
I Love your Sweet
Lee
