Wednesday 22 Nov. 1944 - Thanksgiving Eve

Dearest Kitten:
Here it is Thanksgiving eve and I am thinking of the many things that I am thankful for. Having a beautiful wife like you and two darling children. Being fortunate enough to enjoy good health and liberty. Tomorrow a great many people will spend their day in concentration camps or under the yoke of a conquering tyrant. So you see even though I am miles away, I have many things to be thankful for.
We are having turkey tomorrow and I hope that it is good. We are more fortunate than a great many who will be battling the enemy. They will be lucky to even get something to eat.
One of my officers got a glass window from a plane for me. I got it on my desk with about a dozen snapshots and the latest pictures of my family under it. All day long I have been having a hard job to concentrate as I could not help myself from looking down at the pictures. The glass is about two feet long by a foot and a half wide. It is nice and smooth for writing purposes.
Today has been a relief after the hot weather. It has been fairly cool all day and now it is raining out. After the past heat, this is a very welcome relief.
So Bobby was all excited over the snow. He must remember raising heck with his dad in the snow. Remember the day that I was shoveling the walk and he was helping by throwing snowballs at me?
Your certainly have been busy entertaining the past month or so. I am glad that you are lucky enough to have someone visit you to break the monotony.
The name is familiar but I can not place it right now. I should know but it just slips my mind.
Well Sweetheart I have to close. I love you with all of my heart, darling Wife. I exist only for the day when I will return home to you.
Give my regards to everyone and kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving Devoted & Faithful Husband,

Bob
